FURTHER EDUCATION
She has completed a course to become a car mechanic at a technical college. "I chose the school quickly. It was important for me to complete something, but also to stay focused on training. I really liked the school. There are a lot of female car mechanics in Croatia, so it's not uncommon anymore. My favourite subject was motor vehicle construction - it was taught by a woman. We had to disassemble and reassemble the whole engine. It was really interesting." (ljportal.com, 21 Jul 2019)
