Kot vokalni trener je bila povabljena v slovensko televizijsko oddajo »Znan obraz ima svoj glas«, in eden od njenih pevcev je zmagal tam.
V starosti 4 let je nastopila na odru prvi?. Bilo je v gledališ?u Koper in od takrat živi z glasbo in petjem. Aktivno nastopa kot vodilna pevka za svoje lastne projekte, v zadnjih letih pa je bila tudi spremljevalna pevka dveh uspešnih slovenskih umetnikov, Enza Hrovatina in Yana Baraya.
Študirala je violino, igrala v godalnem orkesteru, pela v številnih pevskih zborih, študirala petje v Sloveniji in v zasebni šoli petja v Trstu (Italija).

V tem ?asu je organizirala 3 SLS Master Teacher dogodke v Kopru in Ljubljani. Leta 2013 je organizacija SLS padla v globoko krizo identitete in vrednot, kar je pripeljalo najboljše u?itelje in Master Teacher-je SLS-a k odstopu in ustanovitve nove organizacije (IVA – Institut for Vocal advancement), ki temelji na tehni?nem pristopu belcanta in se zanaša na najnovejša  odkritija iz znanosti glasu (dr. Ingo Titze).
Leta 2013 je Manica zapustila SLS in postala certificirana u?iteljica Inštituta za vokalni napredek, da bi se specializirala v svojem znanju petja in u?enju petja.
Svoje petje in u?enje petja je izpopolnjevala pri mnogih svetovno priznanih strokovnjakih, kot so Seth Riggs (Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand in ve? kot 130 Grammyjevih nagrajencev), Greg Enríquez (Celine Dion, Britney Sears, Solange Knowls), Jeffrey Skouson (The Killers, Wendy Moten in na stotine Broadwayskih umetnikov), Spencer Welch (Juno Award
