Her doctoral dissertation, Neki problemi diferencijalnog računa u lokalno konveksnim prostorima [Some problems of differential calculus in locally convex spaces], was supervised by Bogoljub Stanković. Later in life, she took up the study of tourism management and marketing, earning a master's degree in 2005 from the University of Novi Sad and a second doctorate in 2006, supervised by Jovan Romelić.
