I am a socio-legal feminist scholar specialising in equality and non-discrimination law, international human rights law, legal history, and research methodology. I am currently a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at the European University Institute, where I am working on a monograph about intersectional discrimination and equality law in the post-Yugoslav context. During my fellowship, I am also exploring political and class discrimination as significant contemporary challenges.

I hold a PhD in Law from Queen’s University Belfast (UK), an LLM in International Human Rights Law (with Distinction) from the University of Essex (UK), and an MA in Democracy and Human Rights in South-East Europe from the Universities of Sarajevo (BA) and Bologna (IT), as well as an LLB from Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje (MK).

My academic work is rooted in extensive empirical and archival research across Europe. My latest research project, FOLIO, is supported by the Early Stage Researcher grant from the EUI.

My teaching includes courses on EU internal market law, gender equality, EU family law, and EU fundamental rights, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as professional training on public policy, gender equality, equality and non-discrimination law, and international human rights law, for MPs, public officials, equality bodies, and national human rights institutions.

In addition to my academic work, I am deeply involved in public policy and legal reform. I have consulted for the European Commission, EIGE, FRA, OSCE, and the Council of Europe on a number of human rights issues. I currently hold the role of expert coordinator on enlargement countries for the gender equality strand of the European Commission’s Network of Legal Experts on Gender Equality and Non-discrimination Law. I have expert-led a number of legislative and institutional reforms in North Macedonia, including on the NAP on Roma Women, Law on Gender Equality, and amendments to the Law on the Parliament and the Rulebook of the Parliament. My work bridges academic research, legal practice, and public policy, with a strong emphasis on international law and social justice.
