Since 2013, her writings are published in the Hungarian ELLE magazine, and in 2011-2013, she reported for Index about various Slovakian political events. Her writings are published on the platforms of National Geographic, WMN, and the Slovakian Hungarian monthly Új NŐ. She also wrote for Kitekintő.hu, Új Szó, .tyzden, and Vasárnap.[8]

Her first book, Escape to Egypt – inspired by her travels and the tourist destinations of the Middle East –, was published in Hungarian in 2013[9][10], then in Slovakian in 2014[11]. Her second novel, Loving in Slovakian, which delved into the Slovakian Hungarian identity[12][13], was published for the 2016 Budapest Book Fair.
