Štúdium ma veľmi bavilo a umožnilo mi venovať sa aj lietaniu a získavaniu geodát pomocou bezpilotných leteckých systémov. V tomto štúdiu som našiel sebarealizáciu."

"Štúdium geoinformatiky na Ústave geografie PF UPJŠ
v Košiciach bolo náročné, avšak mám na toto obdobie veľmi pekné spomienky. Využila som ERASMUS a pol roka som študovala na univerzite v Girone, Španielsko. Získané vedomosti a zručnosti boli dobrým odrazovým mostíkom pre moje ďalšie uplatnenie. Dnes pracujem vo firme Nexus Geographics, ktorá sa zaoberá spracovaním priestorových informácií, tvorbou urbanistických portálov pre samosprávy miest, Smart City riešeniami a vyvíjaním mapových mobilných aplikácií."
