Since Christmas 2019, she has immigrated to America with her husband, three children and their dog Kallista, in Virginia.

She fights with all her might so that the children of the Greek diaspora do not lose their Greekness, and she maintains high goals, ethos and values, thus contributing to the Greek Orthodox community.
