Before her accident she played volleyball. After her injury she was encouraged to get involved in table tennis by Croatian Para table tennis player Helena Dretar Karic. "During my rehabilitation I initially played sitting volleyball, as I hoped that I could continue with my first love, volleyball. I was invited to try Para table tennis by Helena, who is now my teammate. I rejected her invitation, but she didn't give up, so I went to watch her train. I was still not convinced and remained focused on volleyball. But later, the president of a club in Split [Croatia] visited my school and invited me to the club. I have been a member ever since."

Their wedding was due to take place in 2020 after the Paralympic Games, but the postponement of the Games meant they had to also postpone the wedding.
