I bring diverse experience across various industries, including social sectors, education, medicine, culture, and the arts. My goal is to bridge cultures and foster understanding through a precise, professional, and ethical approach.

I worked as a tutor in literary studies, linguistics, and orientation courses, where I was responsible for organizing and conducting events and seminars. My tasks included research, event preparation, and ensuring effective collaboration within a team while also managing independent work. I handled both online and in-person formats, adapting to different settings to achieve successful outcomes.

I was responsible for the preparation and execution of events, including planning and organizing various events and seminars. My role involved communication with universities, libraries, and media, as well as conducting research tasks and managing digitalization processes. I worked both independently and collaboratively within a team, with experience in both online and on-site settings.

Specialized in comparative translation studies and literary linguistics. My master’s thesis analyzed and compared Serbian and German translations of “War and Peace”, examining how stylistic and semantic layers are preserved when translating elements absent in the target language. Additionally, I explored topics such as mythology, folk literature and the contributions of Vuk Karadžić, as well as sign language.

Studied Slavic and German linguistics, focusing on etymology, language contact, and translation studies. My bachelor’s thesis explored the integration and functions of Germanisms in the Serbian language. During my studies, I attended seminars on translation theory, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, as well as German as a foreign language.
