She learned numbers and addition much earlier than letters and reading. Ana graduated from the Mathematics High School in Belgrade with excellent results. Following that, she pursued her education at the Faculty of Mathematics, specializing in Theoretical Mathematics and Applications. During her undergraduate studies, she maintained an average of 9.00, and during her master's studies, she achieved an average of 9.20. Mathematics has always been and continues to be her passion, although unfortunately, it is not her profession. Nevertheless, she has found a way to stay connected to it by successfully preparing students for admission to technical faculties at the University of Belgrade, as well as assisting students of the University of Belgrade in their exam preparation. Currently, she is employed as a leading reporting coordinator in the Tax Administration of the Ministry of Finance. In her daily work, she utilizes the latest information technologies. Outside of work, she is a devoted fan of art, sports, and nature. She is happily married and resides in Belgrade.
