Available to hire
Hi, I’m Sanja Matasić, a multi-disciplinary communications professional based in Zagreb. I have built my career across journalism, content creation, education, and project management, serving media outlets, NGOs, and EU-funded initiatives. I enjoy turning complex topics into clear, engaging content and leading teams to deliver strategic narratives and digital campaigns.
Currently I lead MataLing as a self-employed professional, producing content for Večernji.hr, Green.hr, and Roditelji.hr, while mentoring Roma communities and teaching Croatian to asylum seekers. I thrive in collaborative environments that combine storytelling, language, and social impact.
