Born in 1984 in Rijeka (Croatia). She attended her senior year of high school in Longwood, Florida (USA). During the course of her law studies, she received the Dean's Award for best student paper. She graduated from the University of Zagreb Faculty of Law in July 2007 (total GPA corresponds to a summa cum laude degree), and joined the Department of Constitutional Law of the same Faculty later on that year. From 2009-2013, she also worked as a permanent court interpreter for the English language.
She defended her doctoral dissertation titled "Regulation of positive discrimination with special emphasis on the case-law of India" in July 2013.
She teaches courses at the integrated study level („Constitutional Law“, „Constitutional Law – seminar“, and „Women's Rights“ - both in Croatian (since 2022-2023) and in English (ERASMUS and UNIC students; since 2020-2021)), bachelor level ("Basics of Constitutional Law", "Comparative Constitutional Law" and "Constitutional Law of the Republic of Croatia") and graduate level („Comparative Constitutional Law and Political Institutions“, „Comparative Constitutional Law of EU Member States" and „Introduction to Constitutional Casuistry“) where she is also a doctoral advisor.
She is a member of the ICONs (International Society of Public Law), Croatian Association for Constitutional Law (Administrative Board member), Croatian-Canadian Academic Society and cofounder/member of the student-staff alliance for the protection of LGBTIQA+ rights "ZA-Pravo" (Governing Board member, 2020-2022).
She is the academic mentor for the Antidiscrimination Unit of the Free Legal Aid Clinic at the Zagreb Faculty of Law (2019-current), and member of the Faculty Committee for Students, Student Associations and Students' Standard (2023-2026), where she also presided over in the 2021-2023 term. She is a member of the Council for Human Rights of the Ombudswoman of the Republic of Croatia (December 2022-) and president of the Administrative Board of City of Zagreb's Home for children and adults, victims of domestic violence, „Duga – Zagreb“.
In February 2021, she was appointed as a member of a working group tasked with drafting the Faculty's first-generation Code on Students' Protection From Sexual Harrassment and Other Forms of Gender Discrimination. The Code entered into force on 23 February 2022, and can be found at: - https://www.pravo.unizg.hr/_download/repository/Pravilnik_o_zastiti_studentica_i_studenata_od_seksualnog_uznemiravanja_i_drugih_oblika_rodne_diskriminacije.pdf
Her main area of interest is antidiscrimination law, particularly avenues of achieving and safeguarding substantive equality of political minorities like women (equal political citizenship, reproductive rights, power-sharing in the decision-making fora), the LGBTIQA+ community and racial/ethnic minorities. The issues of equal citizenship, personal autonomy, self-determination and dignity center in her research, be it focused on fundamental rights stricto sensu or structural issues such as implications of the federalist theory for the division of power in federal and quasi-federal structures (like the EU).
