She graduated from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in the field of teaching preschool education. She has worked at public schools since 2001 and has implemented various European educational programs and projects on culture and the environment. As a partner of the European Commission, she took part in an educational programme, known as Teachers 4 Europe. Recently she published a study on the connection of Japanese origami art with the development of mathematical thinking in preschoolers. Inspired from the latest educational activities, she decided to publish her first book, Limnopoula. She wishes, through Limnopoula and in a simplified way for young learners, to promote European Union values, such as solidarity between people, peace and prosperity, democracy and freedom, respecting people’s diversity.
She is studying in a postgraduate program of the European University of Cyprus in the field of sciences of education, and she is certified on using new technologies in education.
Since little was involved with writing tales and poems, cultivating these skills in the area of classroom kindergarten.
She is married, and she has gained a precious and adorable child. Since 2001, Maria lives with her family in mountain town of Florina, where she works.
