I graduated with distinction from the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (Malta) in 2003. Upon the completion of the studies at IMLI, I pursued a career in maritime law. My work experience ranges from the marine insurance market to academic career. I have always felt that my studies at IMLI had a vast impact on my personal and professional development. In 2011 I obtained a Ph.D. degree at the Faculty of Law, University in Zagreb. I currently work as a research fellow at the Adriatic Institute of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts specialising in maritime law. I was previously employed by Croatia Insurance Co. Zagreb (2003 – 2010), where I was responsible for the marine and aviation hull and liability insurance business. In the academic year 2007/2008 I was engaged as assistant lecturer at IMLI. I occasionally participate in the undergraduate programme of the Maritime and Transport Law Department of the Faculty of Law in Zagreb as a visiting lecturer. I passed the Croatian Bar exam in 2006, having completed an internship at the Municipal Court in Zagreb. I have held educational seminars in transport insurance at the Croatian Insurance Bureau, where I also act as a mediator at the Centre for Mediation. I take part on the Professional Committee of the Croatian Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure for the drafting of maritime legislation. I participated on the International Subcommittee for the Review of the Rules on General Average, Comité Maritime International from 2013 till 2016. Since 2016 I have been leading the research project DELICROMAR – Developing a Modern Legal and Insurance Regime for Croatian Marinas – Enhancing Competitiveness, Safety, Security and Marine Environmental Standards funded by the Croatian Science Foundation. I am a member of the Croatian Maritime Law Association and a founding member of the Croatian Transport Law Association. I regularly publish professional and academic papers in the field of maritime law, I am a co-author of the chapter on Marine Insurance Law in the IMLI Manual on International Maritime Law – Shipping Law, Vol. II, and the author of the book The Role of Marine Insurance in the Protection of Marine Environment from Ship Source Pollution (Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 2012).
