I consider myself the citizen of this beautiful world. I was born in Germany, raised in the US, grew up at the same time in Poland, finished my Master's Degree in the UK, and now living a wonderful life in mesmerizing Romania. I am a mother of two wonderful children - Filip and Atena, and a wife to a great husband - Wojtek. After graduating in UK, I moved to Romania, where I joined Cambridge School of Bucharest in January 2008. We have grown together as a family, community, and physically as a school and I am extremely proud of being a part of this process. I love to travel, read, swim, and spend time with my family. I fully commit myself to my job and my students.

I am passionate about keeping children safe, and mental health.

I would love to spread the idea of accepting change, taking risks, and unlearning skills that are somehow embedded in our conscious by our former generations. "Be open to change".

I have been the head of school and taking care of the academics for the last 13 years. Last year, I have been made the Public Relations Officer for the school because I know the school very well. I decided to organize TEDx for our school community. Honestly, I was very worried at first - such an important event with me having so little experience. I wanted to prepare the best I could. I used my expertise as a head of school, student observations, and safeguarding experience to help me decide what are the things our students really need. I decided focusing on risk taking, determination, perseverance, and flexibility because our children need guidance and to finally understand they can achieve great things. With the help of the speakers, I am sure will will succeed in our students leaving the auditorium with knowledge, motivation, and feeling inspired.

People do not know I am good at break-dancing, modeling, and taking part in beauty pageants.
