I hold a degree in Management and Production Engineering as well as a master\u2019s in Applied Linguistics. I have also completed postgraduate studies in Business Psychology. However, my greatest passion lies in social impact work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, I founded a social project, which I transformed into an educational foundation a year later. My organization has been growing dynamically, and its greatest asset is the people\u2014the dedicated and passionate volunteers who have been working pro bono for years. While many organizations struggle with a shortage of helping hands, our foundation thrives thanks to the unwavering support of committed collaborators. Through a well-structured framework and an efficient organizational system, we have created a space where everyone can contribute real value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience through guest lectures and workshops at top polish universities such, as well as in corporate settings, including <strong>T-Mobile<\/strong>. I had the honor of delivering the <strong>inaugural lecture at the Science and Art Festival<\/strong>, organized by the <strong>Polish Academy of Sciences<\/strong>, and speaking as both a panelist and moderator at prestigious conferences held at venues such as <strong>the Palace of Culture and Science, the POLIN Museum, the Praga Koneser Center, and the Orange headquarters in Warsaw<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, at the invitation of students from the <strong>Institute of Education<\/strong>, I presented an analysis at the <strong>University of Cambridge<\/strong> on the impact of quantitative research on the development of charitable organizations, using my foundation\u2019s work as a case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
