Born in 1975 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Graduated in 1999, master`s degree in 2004 and doctor`s degree in 2007 at University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Arts, Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology. She is an assistant for Slovene Ethnology. She has been taking interests on museology, children’s museums and interactive learning spaces, pedagogical and psychological theories of learning and play and developmental theories of children for more than seven years. Her doctoral thesis presents first scientific research on field of children's museums in Slovenia. Her research is focused on up-to date technologies, virtual museums, virtual worlds, such as Second Life and how to transfer the concept of children's museum in interactive virtual learning environment (for example: Club Penguin, Neopets, Whyville, Barbie Girls…). She strongly believes that the concept of a children's museum can be efficiently applied to a different "non museum" or "alternative" environment. Her recent research project was designing an interactive learning environment in a shopping centre.
