Literary production:
I started writing at the beginning of the war, but due to my professional and volunteer work overload, I did not have the time or opportunity to immerse myself in the world of fiction writing. I work in the genre of short prose, mostly short stories, with the themes of war, remembrance, women's fate, and love. My works have been published in the literary newspapers "Strila/Arrow" and "Svit-Info/World-Info", as well as the magazine "Munich City".
