I was born in Gdańsk, Poland, however most of my adult life,  I have been living abroad, mainly in Stockholm, but in Rome and Pennsylvania as well.

The Renaissance idea of human dignity and the idea of the active and the contemplative life are my great interests. I find as well rewarding creative writing and painting. I published a bilingual poetry book and my poetry are represented in some anthologies. I am a passionate, dedicated and motivated teacher  with a strong belief and commitment to the value of education.

I had as well an opportunity to teach  quantitative and qualitative research methodologies in the field of education at University of Gdańsk. After moving to Australia, I had  also the privilege to teach  in Northern Territory at a bilingual school in  Indigenous community. As a member of Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia, I have participated in various conferences;  at International Conference on Philosophy of Education in Newcastle, at Rotorua on New Zealand and on  Fiji. In Sweden and Poland, I participated in conferences on cosmopolitanism,  critical and inclusive education.
