She gained international experience through a project sponsored by the European Union and as a result of her attendance/participation in the “Alpen-Adria” Summer University. During her studies she spent half a year in Lisbon, Portugal. Her work experience not only gave her insight into the public sector, but also into private industry with an emphasis on banking. In 2008 Nedbal joined the Office of Sciience & Technology and worked as an intern until the end of March.

Nedbal is currently working on her master's thesis.
