Her teaching focuses on Classical Archaeology, including undergraduate courses on Greek and Roman archaeology/civilization and graduate courses on Roman archaeology in North Africa.

She directs USF’s Spring Break Study Abroad Program in Athens, offering courses on Mediterranean History and Archaeology.
Her research investigates urbanization and monumental landscapes in Roman-era Africa Proconsularis (Algeria/Tunisia/Libya), with deep expertise in Leptis Magna. She also studies iconography of power through Roman imperial villa mosaics in Sicily/Malta. As Senior Member of the Melita Civitas Romana excavation project in Malta, she employs innovative techniques: Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), LiDAR, photogrammetry, and archaeometric analyses to document the Roman Domus of Rabat. This project aims to create a virtual excavation experience and preserve findings digitally.
