I am a PhD Researcher at the EUI Department of History and Civilisation, working on a doctoral project entitled: “Towards Europe – Solidarity union’s parallel diplomacy with European Economic Community’s institutions and key member states, 1980-1989”.

The research examines the early origins of EU Eastern enlargement, with a particular focus on the Solidarity movement's outreach to European institutions and major EEC member states from 1980 to 1989, as a prelude to Poland's post-1989 political reorientation. The research aims to expand the historiography of the European integration process and its enlargements beyond their Western dimension by providing an Eastern European perspective and analysing it from the applicant’s side. The contribution of the Solidarity union, as a societal actor, in this process will be examined.

I am devoted to the legacy of Professor Bronisław Geremek, late Polish Foreign Minister, MEP, Solidarity leader and social historian of medieval Europe. In 2025, I led the establishment of Professor Bronisław Geremek's archival collection at the Historical Archives of the European Union and, in 2024, an initiative to name a seminar room after Prof. Geremek at the Florence School of Transnational Governance with the support of the 2024 Polish EUI Presidency. I served as a consultant for the 2024 documentary, "Polscy badacze we Florencji" (Polish Researchers in Florence), produced by the Polish public broadcaster TVP, which focuses on the Polish EUI community.

Between 2019 and 2024, I served as a Member of the Management Board of the Bronisław Geremek Foundation in Warsaw, representing the Foundation in the European Parliament's Network of Political Houses and Foundations of Great Europeans.

Previously, I worked as a policy advisor and executive. In 2023/2024, I was a Policy Leader Fellow at the Florence School of Transnational Governance, where I conceptualised the role of democracy in the European security architecture. I was also a recipient of the 2024 Visegrad Fund Research Grant at the Historical Archives of the European Union.

In the past, I worked as a Policy Development Adviser at the ALDE Party in Brussels and as Managing Director of WiseEuropa, a Warsaw-based think tank focusing on European policies. Before that, I was the Managing Director of the Jan Karski Educational Foundation, a Polish-American public diplomacy endeavour devoted to the legacy of a diplomat who spoke truth to power during times of global conflict.

I graduated from the Executive Master of Public Administration at Hertie School in Berlin and the International School of Political Science at the University of Silesia in Katowice. I speak Polish, English and French.
