For many years I worked on cruise ships as Assistant Cruise Manager, in travel agencies, as a guide in Greece, Turkey, Egypt, as a manager for Pilgrimages in Concorde Travel, Dublin, Ireland as an Entertainment Manager for Yugotours and later as an journalist and photo reporter during the war period in Croatia. When it comes to my hotel management experience, I worked in the UK for Kew Green Hotels and IHG as Duty Manager, Rooms Division Manager and  Assistant GM.

Upon returning to Croatia I held a Resident and OPS Manager position for Vienna International Group in Opatija, from 2008 to 2022,  various management roles in Valamar and from 2022 Room Division Manager position for Maistra Hospitality Group

In addition to my regular work, I occasionally taught Hotel Management students in Business Excellence courses, while I was attending university in England at Kingsway Westminster College London.
