While acknowledging the challenges of public recognition, she noted that people now recognize her more for her successful career in the beauty industry, which she finds preferable.
People still recognize me sometimes, especially those who followed that season. But today, they recognize me more for my work than for television – which suits me very well.

"The most beautiful thing is when a woman leaves the studio, brimming with confidence and a smile on her face," she said. She has built a life in Split, embracing the Dalmatian spirit and culture.
It's very nice for the children! I think it's interesting and nice for them to know that their parents had such an unusual beginning.

We are still a team," she stated.

I specialize in beauty, bridal, and fashion makeup, and I've been doing it for over 15 years. I love working with clients, especially during important life moments, like weddings.
