About

“Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind” said once Rudyard Kipling and I could not agree more. During my studies, I have developed a keen interest in the potential of correct communication, which has become my passion, along with sports. My experience as a journalist, press office assistant, liaison officer and English/Polish/Italian consecutive interpreter let me acquire valuable knowledge about public relations, marketing and international environments’ aspects. I consider myself a hardworking, ambitious and adaptable person, who is in constant seek of professional and personal development.
