From 1967 to 1973 she studies Classical Archeology , Ancient History and Ancient Numismatics at the University of Vienna and is doing her doctorate “summa cum laude” with the dissertation “The thin-walled utility ceramics of the Magdalensberg”, which two years later also appears as a monograph of the same name in the series “ Archaeological research on the excavations on the Magdalensberg ”is published. In 1980 and 1989 further fundamental works on topics of ceramic research from Magdalensberg appeared in the same series. A continuation of Volume 10 (1989) on the common everyday ceramics from Magdalensberg is in preparation for printing. Together with Susanne Zabehlicky-Scheffenegger, she works on the gray heavy pottery from Magdalensberg, the cookware and supplies of regional production. In addition to a number of essays on ceramics from the early Roman Empire, the study of the Italian terra sigillata with appliques in Noricum should be mentioned. A complete bibliography of research on the Magdalensberg, compiled by her in 2008 and updated annually, is available on the Internet.

An internship as a student at Magdalensberg in 1969 marks the beginning of uninterrupted work on the excavations that become the focus of her research. There she has been involved in the training from the start of her work, which has now been passed through generations of student interns. As a result, not least because of her language skills, she is the supervisor of numerous domestic and foreign diploma theses and dissertations in connection with the Magdalensberg and Roman ceramics at universities in Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. At Magdalensberg she met her future husband Wolfgang Schindler, the son of the ceramic researcher Maria Schindler, who wrote the standard work on the smooth red Terra Sigillata from Magdalensberg. She works as an employee and consultant on numerous projects and excavations outside Austria, for example at the Teatro del Pythion di Gortina / Crete, in the Casa di Arianna in Pompeii or in the Latifundium of Loron / Croatia. Other activities concern the design of museums and exhibitions, for example at the World Heritage Museum of the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign / USA.
