She became known as one of the four last finalists in Story Supernova Music Talents, reality show aired on Nova TV in late 2003. In 2004 she released an album called Nera[2] which was a critical and commercial flop.[3]

For the latter role, she was nominated for a best young drama actress award at the Croatian annual drama awards 2009.[5]

At the Croatian National Theatre in Šibenik, she co-wrote the music and acted in their 2008 play "Fantazija" by Marijana Nola,[6] for which she was nominated for the best young operetta/musical actress award at the Croatian annual drama awards in 2008.[7]

In 2010, she won Ples sa zvijezdama, the Croatian version of Dancing with the Stars.[4] In the same year, she made her film debut in the Croatian movie of the omnibus Some Other Stories.[8]
