After arriving in Hollywood, it took less than 2 weeks to land her first feature film role, book hair modeling campaigns, ultimately earning her a greencard in record time. A neurodiverse, modern renaissance woman, Néa speaks 8 languages with a great ear for dialect/accents and nurtures a rich skillset, breaking glass ceilings and reaping awards in every field she immerses herself into.
She first gained recognition through international publications worldwide and vixen roles starting in late 2009, having graced 40+ magazine covers to date. Now SAG-Core, Néa also directed, wrote, cast and produced 2 projects in festival circuit gathering over a dozen laurels, including winning a Best International Short Film award for her debut "SlavInLA" that she is developing into a full project. She is a regular invitee to judge at festivals and various contests - including the pandemic-timed Hollywood Jumbo film festival and World Monologue Games.
Before her move overseas, Néa studied acting at the only English-language acting school in Zagreb - International Arts Center, and continued honing her craft through workshops with respected teachers and industry coaches in Hollywood. Before starting her on-camera career, she earned two Master degrees, won a Rector's Award for her work and continued with a ph.D. before escaping to a career in entertainment full-time.
Néa has been a dedicated volunteer and humanitarian for the majority of her life, working directly and bringing awareness to various causes she advocates for - equality, environment and conservation, invisible illnesses, alt subcultures and her own native culture. She has served in the European Youth Parliament for a full decade, which also enabled her to master English language.
