She completed her primary education in 2008 and her secondary education in 2012, when she enrolled in the undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology in Zagreb. She defended her thesis entitled "Absorption Refrigeration Systems with the Application of LiBr and H2O as Working Fluids" in 2015, earning the academic title of univ. bacc. ing. cheming. In 2015, she was awarded the Dean's Prize for the best undergraduate student, and in the same year, she enrolled in the graduate program in Chemical Engineering.

As a part of the ADRIACOLD project, she completed her graduate thesis titled "Modeling of an Absorption Refrigeration Process Driven by Solar Energy," which she defended in 2017, earning the academic title of mag. ing. cheming. In the same year, she was awarded three prestigious prizes: the Rector's Award for the work "Analysis and Optimization of Plant Operation," the Vjera Marjanović Krajovan Award for the most successful graduate student in the 2016/17 generation, and the "Hrvoje Požar" Award for a particularly notable graduate thesis in the field of energy.

After completing her studies, she was employed at Ireks Aroma d.o.o. and Pliva Hrvatska d.o.o., and in January 2020, she joined the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology as an assistant and enrolled in a doctoral program. In 2021, she received the "2021 Excellent Reviewer Award" from the journal Open Ceramics.
