In 2017 she finished high school and unsuccessfully attempted to enroll in the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. While preparing for the following year's entrance exam, she briefly worked in a fast-food chain restaurant. However, she resigned from her position after securing the lead role in the HBO TV series, "Uspjeh" (Success).[2]

Following several supporting roles primarily in Croatian films and TV series, Thaller achieved recognition with the role of Blanka in HBO's TV series "Uspjeh" (Success), broadcast in 2019. This marked a significant turning point in her career. Subsequently, she secured a contract for the Swiss film titled "The Saint of the Impossible", filmed in New York during 2019. This opportunity further extended her international career, which had commenced with a minor role in the film "Ibiza" the previous year.

Although her career is currently focused on big screen and TV, she is very interested in theatre roles.[6]
