BIOLOGY
At Da Vinci’s International Schools I teach biology within the framework of the IB MYP and DP programmes. I am a veterinary doctor. I graduated from the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences as well as the Universidad de Cordoba.
Teaching is my passion. I began my professional career in 2014 by teaching biology at St. Agnes School in India within the scope of the Global Citizen Development Programme.
Outside of school life I am involved with charities as well as projects for the protection of wild animals.

BIOLOGY
I hold a Biology Master’s degree bestowed by the Jagiellonian University. I also completed a postgraduate course at the Pedagogical University within the scope of library science as well as scientific information which included a teaching module.
At Da Vinci’s Primary School I teach biology and natural sciences.
I like to read books, however ever since I became a mum it is not easy to find the time to do that! During the scarce moments when I am free, I write poetry, also for children.

PHYSICS
At Da Vinci’s International Schools I teach physics. I graduated from Sheffield University where I studied physics and astrophysics. I also went on an exchange for a year to the University of Waterloo. I am currently studying Environmental Protection and Management at the Jagiellonian University. That subject is an extension of my long term efforts as a climate and environmental activist. In my free time I enjoy rock climbing and travel, to faraway places and those nearby.
