OVERSEAS EXPERIENCE
She signed for Polish club Chemik Police in 2013, having spent the rest of her volleyball club career in Serbia. She has since played club volleyball in Turkey, Brazil and France, and returned to the Brazilian Superliga ahead of the 2019/20 season with a view to preparing for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "It was very difficult [her first move abroad]. When I remember the days I arrived, first time in Poland, left home, new city, new club, new players. Everything was completely different. The Brazilian league is one of the best leagues in the world and it was one of the reasons why I decided to come back. I need a strong season ahead of the Olympic Games, which I think will be a crown of my career." (zurnal.rs, 23 Nov 2013; 011info.com, 15 Jan 2018; fivb.org, 01 Oct 2018; zurnal.rs, 01 Jul 2019)
