Her poetry was featured in the anthology "Srca v igri: Izbor leposlovnih del mladih slovenskih avtoric_jev LGBTQ+" (Hearts in Play: A Selection of Literary Works by Young Slovenian LGBTQ+ Authors) and in several literary magazines in Slovenia.

In her role as a producer of literary events, programs, and festivals, she works at the UNESCO City of Literature office in Ljubljana. She is involved with the Pranger Festival, a gathering of poets, critics, and poetry translators, as well as the Poetry Tournament and Ignor, a platform for literature, sound, visual arts, and performance.
