After graduation I worked for 6 years as a high school teacher in Gramsh. In April of 1983 I started working in the Biological Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences, Department of Flora and Ecology. During the first few years at the Biological Research Institute I gained experience as a florist through the numerous trip fields in the terrain, the collection, determination and deposit of the plant material in the National Herbarium. At the same time, I prepared and defended my PhD dissertation titled “Coastal Flora and Vegetation of Albania” in 1989. For a long time I have been supervisor of the Flora and Ecology Department and vice director of the Institute.I worked at the Biological Research Institute until 2007. In 2008 I started working at the University of Tirana, Flora and Fauna Research Centre, Faculty of Natural Sciences as the head of the Flora section, researcher and professor.My work at the Academy of Sciences and the University of Tirana has been focused in the studies of the Flora and Vegetation of Albania, the implementation of the National Monitoring Program of the biodiversity with emphasis on the endemic, rare, endangered and threatened plants of the Albanian Flora, management of protected areas, application of the 92/43/EU Directive in Albania and conservation of species and habitats, assessment of impact of climate and other factors innatural ecosystems, environmental impact assessment, ecosystem restoration and phytoremediation. I teach Plant Ecology and I prepare second level, master and PhD diplomas on Plant Ecology for students and researchers. I am author or co-author of about 100 articles, 14 monographs where would mention four-volume book “Flora of Albania” and “Red Book. Endangered and threatened plant species of Albania”, large number of scientific reports. I have participated in many national and international conferences symposiums and as a consultant or team leader in many projects.(I graduated in Biology in 1977 from the University of Tirana.
