HISTORY

At Da Vinci’s International Schools I teach History and German. I am also a homeroom teacher of the 1st HS.

I graduated with a Master’s degree from the Faculty of History at the Jagiellonian University and completed two years of Postgraduate Studies for Translators at the Jagiellonian University with German as the main language.

I enjoy hiking, golf and skiing, and have recently been watching programmes on the History Hit channel devoted to archaeology and history.

Psychology

Holder of Master’s degree in psychology with added knowledge gained through Erasmus+ from KUL (Be)

At the school and preschool, I work as a psychologist – supporting the children, young people and parents.

Privately, wife of a keen traveller and mother of two girls. Sophisticated cook specialising in pancakes served 100 different ways. Snow queen when snowboarding, sledding and skating. At night, when I’m not asleep, I create interior decorations.

My greatest idol was and still is my great-grandmother, who, despite many difficulties and dramatic events in her life, remained a wonderful and positive person until her death. I wish everyone, including myself, had such a positive attitude to life.
