I moved to the United States from Croatia 24 years ago and have been truly blessed. I am a proud mother of two daughters who are currently in college.

I have been a part of the University of Virginia for about nine years now, mostly working as a Senior Administrative Coordinator in Facilities Management. During this time, I have had the opportunity to gain valuable experience. Lately, I have developed a strong interest in Grants and Contracts and have been taking classes to enhance my skills. I am thrilled to continue learning and growing with this lab.😊

In my free time, I enjoy cooking and spending time with my family. Every weekend, we would try out a new recipe. Although some of my attempts have not turned out well, it's always enjoyable to discover a delicious dish and add it to my repertoire.
