Together with a group of artists she founded the Puppetry Studio Sarajevo in 1997, as the first independent and informal school in Bosnia and Herzegovina intended for young artists – a specialist education program in theatric arts (puppet animation, scenography, visual design and production of puppets), where she also taught. In 2005 she became an art associate at the Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek (Puppetry Esthetics and Dramaturgy), and in 2011 she was promoted to docent and started teaching at the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, at the departments of dramaturgy and acting (Puppetry and Puppetry Dramaturgy).
