Daughter of art and citizen of the world, who has changed her home almost every year since birth. Of Yugoslavian roots, with the first four years of her life spent between Belgrade (former capital of Yugoslavia) and Split (Croatia), eleven years in Italy, including six in Rome, where she was admitted at the 'Scuola del Teatro dell'Opera di Roma' at the age of nine. Even at an early age, she performed at the Teatro dell'Opera, Teatro Brancaccio and Terme di Caracalla, with internationally renowned choreographers Roland Petit, Amedeo Amodio, Luc Bouy and Mauro Bigonzetti.
​
At the age of sixteen, she received a full scholarship for the final two academic years, room and board at one of the three most prestigious ballet schools in the world, the 'Royal Ballet School' in London, where she had her first major injury and cut short her predetermined path of becoming Prima Ballerina at the Royal Ballet of London.
​
After the first of 3 operations on her ACL ( anterior cruciate ligament ) - plus one on her ankle and another on her foot - she got back on her feet and discovered her talent and passion for Contemporary Dance at the famous school 'Ecole Supérieure de Dance de Cannes Rosella Hightower' in France, which led her to acclaimation four years in Germany, two in Austria, one in Switzerland and one in Luxembourg as Prima Ballerina and Soloist at several established theatres, including the Monte Carlo Opera.
​
She then became acclaimed in Dance Theatre with the leading role of Lady Macbeth in 'Macbeth' on the biggest stage - at the time - in Germany, the 'Staats Theater Darmstadt'. She continued at the 'Landes Theater Linz' in Austria to perform in pieces by Jochen Ulrich - founder of the first contemporary company in Germany in Cologne - where she achieved great public and critical success in the leading role of Gala in 'Dali und Lorca'.
Following choreographer Philippe Talard's innovative view into the world of prison and human relations, with the approval and collaboration of the Ministry of Justice, Culture and European Authorities, she assisted him for the theatre piece 'Capote-Projekt' with juvenile prisoners in the 'JSA' (Jungendstrafanstalt - Penitentiary) in Berlin.
Winner of 3rd prize at the 1999 Ursula Moreton Choreography Competition at the Covent Garden in London.
She discovered her passion for photography around the age of 22, which led to her winning the 3rd prize at the 2006 'ISP' (International Society of Photographers) at the 'Hotel Riviera' in Las Vegas, USA. 'Fin' was published in the most famous French photography magazine of the moment 'Photo'.
​
While studying at the Middlesex University of London at the SAE Institute on the course of 'Digital Film Making', she worked on the behind-the-scenes editing for the DVD of the film 'Doctor Rey & the devils' by the famous film director and critic from the former Yugoslavia Dinko Tucaković.
