She came from an active family and took up athletics at an early age. She thought she would be better suited to a team sport and was inspired to try handball by Croatian player Ivano Balic. "At the beginning I had a lot of sporting interests, I wanted to try everything. After one year of training I realised handball was the most attractive to me."

PLAYING ABROAD
She spent two seasons from 2014 to 2016 playing for ZRK Vardar in North Macedonia and played in Romania with CSM Bucuresti in 2019/20. She says her foreign experiences have been vital to her development. "Playing abroad, I wanted to see what I could do. Vardar was one of the biggest clubs with big stars, so I wanted to test myself and improve. I never regretted that choice, as I think it was the best decision I could have made at the time." She spent the 2020/21 season in Montenegro with ZRK Buducnost, her second spell at the club. (Radio Televizija Budva YouTube channel, 15 Aug 2018; eurohandball.com, 01 Jan 2021)
