I am a historian in training at the University of Vienna, specializing in the history of the Holocaust in Central and Eastern Europe. My research examines the mechanisms and consequences of persecution across the region, with particular interests in antisemitic propaganda, interethnic collaboration and resistance, provenance research of confiscated Jewish property, gendered experiences of violence, and the economic dimensions of persecution.

Alongside my studies, I work at the Institute of Contemporary History as a student assistant and tutor, where I support teaching, administration, and research. I also mentor students in academic writing in both German and English across several departments. These roles have strengthened my pedagogical skills and deepened my commitment to accessible, rigorous historical education.

In July 2025, I contributed to the organization of the workshop for the FWF project “Bonds of Intimacy and Dependency. Survival Strategies of Intermarried Families in Nazi-Dominated Europe,” led by Holocaust scholar Michaela Raggam-Blesch. This experience allowed me to engage closely with current research on family histories, survival strategies, and the complexities of intimacy under persecution.

Beyond historical research, I am involved in an interdisciplinary writing‑research project with Andreas Liebsch. We investigate the development of academic writing competence among first‑semester history students at the University of Vienna. Our findings will be published in zisch: Journal of Interdisciplinary Writing Research in late 2026.

My work is grounded in a strong regional and linguistic foundation. I am a native speaker of Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian/Montenegrin and speak German and English at an advanced academic level (C1/C2). I also have working knowledge of Spanish and French, and since 2025, I have been learning Hungarian and Polish to deepen my engagement with Central and Eastern European source material and scholarship.
