I obtained my undergraduate degree in archaeology at the University of Ljubljana, where I specialized in prehistoric archaeology. After completing my degree, I decided to expand my knowledge by pursuing an MSc in Osteoarchaeology and Funerary Archaeology at Leiden University, where my main research interests were reconstruction of past activities, analysis of skeletal and cremated human remains, and spatial analysis of cemeteries. During my studies, I excavated at numerous archaeological sites, organized student conferences and participated in public outreach activities to promote archaeology.
