She practiced architecture with Janáky István. From 1955 she worked in the Industrial Plan Office where she coordinated huge industrial projects (Kofe, Borsodi Brewery, Gabonatröszt Silóprogram, Péti Ammonium Factory in Petfurdo , GDR Breweries etc).
In addition to industrial buildings she designed office buildings (Alutröszt headquarters at the Danube), health facilities (OTKI operating block) and she was also teaching at the Technical University of Budapest.
