LEARNING FROM AN IDOL
Her teammate Milica Mandic has been her idol and inspiration and they train under the guidance of the same coach. "She [Mandic] is an amazing person and was part of my growing up. I learn from her every single day. She taught me to respect others and myself, she taught me what hard work and discipline are and that every effort matters. Once, she told me I had to grab every chance I get, because one never knows what may happen in a year or four years and to learn how to fight for my dreams. Looking up to her, I learned how to stay positive and look on the brighter side of life. She is a true and unique friend." (youth-time.eu, 23 Sep 2016; N1 YouTube channel, 14 Dec 2019)
