My Work
As a movement communications specialist I work with communities and affiliates in Europe, building bridges and relations and supporting collaboration in the region.
I am also coordinating celebrating the pillars of our movement, the Wikimedians of exceptional contributions through WikiCelebrate.
About Me
I am a project organizer, a communicator, a passionate and curious reader, and (hopefully) a psychologist-to-be. But most of all – I am a Wikimedian. I have been a part of the Movement for more than a decade – as a volunteer (you can find my volunteer account here), as a Wikimedia Polska staff member and, now, from 2022, as a part of the Wikimedia Foundation.
I am located in Poznań, Poland. My favorite movie is Perfect Days, my favorite book is Neverending Story. I have a long list of things that make me happy, including: adding an article to Wikipedia, taking a long walk, meeting people (especially Wikimedians), and traveling. I laugh a lot, make friends quickly and try to put kindness and empathy in everything I do.
I start every day with a cup of coffee and end it with one of my two cats on my lap.Disclaimer
