As founder and artistic director of Harmony of Time, she leads projects dedicated to the chamber repertoire of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, working with a network of international performers specialising in historically informed performance. The ensemble’s programmes explore a wide range of styles and influences within the Baroque, with a particular focus on rhetorical expression, stylistic clarity, and collaborative music-making.

She has worked with leading performers in the field and taken part in projects that place strong emphasis on historically informed approaches, stylistic awareness, and expressive communication.
She studied baroque violin at the Royal College of Music in London with Adrian Butterfield and Bojan Čičić, supported by the Linda Hill and Charles Colt Scholarships. She also trained as a modern violinist at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad with Miroslav Pavlović.
