Based in Zagreb, Croatia, I'm a freelance journalist, non-fiction writer, audio producer, editor and researcher focused on social affairs and human rights in the Balkan region. I'm mostly interested in storytelling in different mediums but also in investigative journalism. My main topics are war crimes and post conflict societies, refugees, police violence, Roma, LGBTIQ, women's rights, poverty, all kind of discrimination and (systemic) violence. I write for Croatian and international print and online media and produce multimedia projects. My work was featured at Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet, Austrian weekly Profil, Italian weekly L’Espresso, German daily Neues Deutschland, Dutch weekly De Groene Amsterdammer, Slovenian daily Dnevnik, Danish Dagbladet Information, regional portal Balkan Insight, among others. I have been cooperated with TV Arte and BBC. I cooperated with distinctive international organizations, institutions and think tanks such as the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Goethe Institute , Roma Education Fund, European Stability Initiative, European Trade Union Institute, Council of Europe, UNHCR, UNICEF. I was awarded for promotion of peace, non-violence and human rights for my journalistic work about war trauma, reconciliation and peace building initiatives in the ex-Yugoslavia. I won the Croatian Journalists’ Association award as the best print journalist in Croatia for features about post war societies in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was awarded for the best coverage of LGBT issues from 2000 to 2010 and for best print article about education. My non-fiction book “How are you?” looks at the fate of so-called second-class citizens who are often invisible to most of society. you can also find my audio work on soudcloud
Sisters of Europe project was shortlisted for a European Press Prize. It's a platform documenting women's condition in post #MeToo Europe via 27 in-depth interviews of 27 women from 27 countries, four debates and an online campaign. Over two seasons, it focuses on one central question: what consequences did the #MeToo movement have on European societies? Where do we stand on gender equality, a century after the “suffragettes”?
