From 1987 to 2004 she worked in the City Municipality of Savski Venac as advisor, assistant head, and head of departments dealing with property-legal, construction, and communal-housing affairs. Prior to that, she spent two years as a legal intern, specializing in civil law and criminal law.[1]
Between 2004 and 2012 she served as assistant minister in the Ministry of Capital Investments, the Ministry of Infrastructure, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Mining, Spatial Planning and Urbanism of the Republic of Serbia.[2]
From 2012 to 2014 she was Assistant Minister of Construction and Urbanism, responsible for the sector overseeing the issuance of building and occupancy permits, energy efficiency in construction, construction land, the republic's construction and communal inspection, and administrative and legal supervision in the areas of state surveying and cadastre.[2]
Since 2014 she has served as State Secretary at the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Serbia.[1]
She has participated in all working groups for drafting laws and by laws in the areas of spatial planning, urbanism, construction, and legalization from 2003 to the present. She has been responsible for the implementation of several state projects (construction of the Avala Tower, addressing the aftermath of the floods in Jaša Tomić, and the consequences of landslides across Serbia).
