She completed her master’s degree in classical singing with a specialization in opera at the National Conservatory in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

At the SNG Opera and Ballet Maribor, she participated in the opera production The Black Masks in the role of the Very Beautiful Mask, followed by a one-month tour of Japan with the opera Carmen.

She performed as a chorister in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Puccini’s La Bohème, and as an actress in Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia. With Opera Zuid, she sang on national tours and at guest performances in Luxembourg.
