At MDPI, I handled author invitation requests and checked email content, recipient lists, and Special Issue information for accuracy and consistency. I used Excel, Redmine, and internal systems to validate data and track requests, working with journal editors and IT teams to resolve issues.

At Pelican Cement / Pendulum Ads, I wrote social media and website copy, prepared creative briefs, and co-managed a paid Discord community. I also built automated email flows in Klaviyo and created educational content about TikTok marketing.

I write cultural journalism and essays for Serbian media, conduct and translate interviews, and translate essays and short fiction from English into Serbian. My editorial work includes guest-editing the Polja – Tangier Literature Special Issue and translating Leonora Carrington’s The Hearing Trumpet, for which I received the Ljubiša Rajić Award for Literary Translation.

I founded and edited Obaveštajac, an independent print magazine focused on Serbia’s craft beer scene, coordinating its contributors and production. I’ve also organized a concert in Belgrade and supported communications and stage management at festivals.
