Apart from this she also volunteers at the Institute of Applied Ecology (DAPHNE) and helps with programmes regarding environmental education. With the Friends of the Earth -CEPA she is involved in the project “Let the Sunshine in” which aims to create a global sustainable energy system. She deals with the topic of climate change and alternative energy sources as key attributes of global change on ecological, economic but also social levels. Her job is her hobby. One area she would like to see improved in Slovakia  is that the public should be more informed not only about the impact of climate change but also about practical ways how to reduce negative implications of climate change on local and global levels.
