Born in Yugoslavia (current-day Bosnia and Herzegovina), she now finds home on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (Vancouver, B.C.). Her work investigates belonging, both visceral and spiritual, through the prism of place, name and identity. Her creative nonfiction was shortlisted in 2023 for The Malahat Review contest and in 2021 for The CNFC/The Humber Literary Review contest. She is currently working to complete her first book-length memoir, with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
