For the past 39 years she has worked as a teacher in Montgomery County Public Schools, and for the last 25 years has served as Department Head of Social Studies at Albert Einstein High School.
Since having joined the Parish Council of Saint Sophia Cathedral in the year 2000, over the years Fotini has served an officer position for multiple terms, including the office of President, 2004-2006. She presently serves as Parish Council Secretary and liaison to the Greek School Board and Youth Steering Committee.
