About
From Slovenia to Rome, by way of Manila, Krakow, Princeton and Leuven.
Biography
Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Slovenia, I have dedicated my life to unravelling the profound mysteries of Catholic theology. My academic path began with a Master's in Theology, completed in 2021, which set the stage for a deeper exploration of faith.
I now live and work in Rome, at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas — the Angelicum — where I am a doctoral candidate, teach academic methodology to students across all three cycles of study, and serve as Assistant to the Dean of Theology. Amidst the historical and spiritual tapestry of the Eternal City, I continue to nurture my passion for theology and spirituality. That pursuit extends beyond academia: I volunteer with the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, extending a helping hand to those in need.
Approach
Theology done carefully should be intelligible outside the seminar room. My research keeps returning to classical sources — Aquinas above all — because they still answer questions people are actually asking, and because answering those questions well matters more than answering them fashionably.
Teaching, lecturing and the work of the Order of Malta belong to that same effort rather than sitting beside it.
Background
Born and raised in the vibrant culture of Slovenia, I draw inspiration from the deep-rooted traditions and values of my homeland. As a theologian I am committed to bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary thought — making theology relevant to today's world.
My work in the theological arena has taken me to diverse corners of the globe: from the bustling streets of Manila to the historic cities of Europe and the universities of the United States. These experiences have broadened my perspective, allowing me to engage with a wide range of theological ideas and beliefs, and have reinforced my commitment to fostering dialogue and understanding across cultures.
Education
Following my undergraduate studies I embarked on a transformative journey that led to a Master's in Theology in 2021 — a pivotal moment in my academic life, and the foundation for everything since.
From 2022 to 2025 I was a visiting doctoral researcher at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. In 2025 I completed a Licentiate in Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) in Thomistic Christology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, where I am now pursuing the Doctorate in Sacred Theology (S.T.D.).
Beyond formal degrees, my formation has been enriched by summer schools and seminars — from the Witherspoon Institute's Thomistic Seminar at Princeton to the Tertio Millennio Seminar in Krakow, the Thomistic Institute of Ireland, and a summer school on Aquinas in Regensburg — unique opportunities to engage with leading experts from around the world.
Writing
I spent eighteen months as a specialist writer for Aleteia Slovenia. Towards the end of my Master's studies I began working with them, and in that time published more than a hundred articles and interviews specialising in spirituality and Catholic teaching on a range of questions.
Accomplishments
I am honoured to have secured victory in the student convention at the Pontifical University Regina Apostolorum in Rome. The winning paper, The Influence of the Sexual Revolution on Catholic Theology, offered a critical analysis of how societal change has shaped theological discourse — reaffirming my commitment to rigorous research and providing a platform to contribute to contemporary theological discussion.
My work as a theologian has taken me across the world to present research at conferences and speaking engagements — from sharing insights in Manila to theological dialogue in Rome and Leuven. These engagements have broadened my horizons, connected me with scholars from diverse backgrounds, and reinforced my belief in the global relevance of theological discourse.
