Her research interests are broad, but a major area of focus is ancient jewelry. Before joining the museum, Istrabadi was Curator of Prints at Huguenot Heritage in New York and Associate Curator at the Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University in Indiana. She also served as an adjunct professor at a number of universities in Indiana, including Herron School of Art, Ivy Tech Community College, Purdue University Calumet, Valparaiso University, and Indiana State University.
