Every word is an encounter. Every story is a bridge.
“To see a world in a grain of sand ...” — William Blake
Meaning is not stored in a dictionary, but lives in vibrant relationships – in a glance that welcomes the other, in a question that opens up the past, present and future, in listening that creates new possibilities.
Just as rivers carry heritage through landscapes and time, I believe in the power of flow, in dialogue, in storytelling that passes from generation to generation – not as dead letters, but as living experience we share. As the world changes rapidly, it is the power of the living word that builds bridges and brings new hope.
My path is the search for, and co-creation of, meaning: connecting people, ideas and worlds, discovering what is hidden in the obvious, strengthening bonds where time and routine wear them down.
I believe that the true power of words lies not in defining things finally, but in the eternal birth of new beginnings, questions and inspiration.
A Global Perspective
7 Years Abroad. 8 Languages. Cross-Border Expertise.
With over seven years abroad, I bring strategic insight and intercultural fluency to every project. Fluent in eight languages (C1–C2), I serve as a connector between sectors, mandates, and geographies — from municipalities and ministries to global NGOs and cultural institutions.
From Vision to Execution
250+ Events Annually. Marketing with Precision.
As a PR and Marketing Manager, I led the design and delivery of more than 250 live events per year across Europe — from thought leadership panels and receptions to large-scale public campaigns. I align every detail, from concept to audience experience, with the broader strategic purpose.

Results That Resonate
65+ Projects/Year. Strategic Storytelling.
At Beletrina Academic Press, a leading hub for European cooperation, I managed communications across more than 65 complex projects per year and strategic visibility campaigns with 1.5 M media reach. We consistently delivered beyond expectations — with lean resources and high-impact outcomes.

Moderating the Conversation
400+ Public Dialogues. Across Sectors and Cultures.
From business to literature, from policymaking to social innovation — I’ve led over 400 dialogues that shaped public discourse. My strength lies in creating spaces where insight becomes shared momentum.

Purpose-Driven Impact
Record CSR Results. Strategic Donations.
In one year, we reached record-breaking CSR results — supporting humanitarian causes, vulnerable groups, and local schools across Slovenia.

Systemic Change from the Ground Up
Pioneering Organic Gardening. Zero Euro Ad Budget.
I organized Slovenia’s largest permaculture event with Austrian eco-farming legend Sepp Holzer — known as the “Dalai Lama of Permaculture.”
With no advertising budget, we broke national records in attendance and book sales — by uniting all stakeholders around a shared purpose. By empowering every partner as a co-creator, we sparked a nationwide movement.
