I was born in Poland. After graduating from high school I entered the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland and after two years I transferred to Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden. In 2004 I received a Master’s Degree in English, with a concentration in history and linguistics.

While in Uppsala I was involved in a number of educational projects at the Uppsala Program for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. In the summer of 2002 and 2003 I was working at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, Oswiecim, Poland where I was teaching World War II and the Holocaust history to English and Swedish speaking visitors. I was also a volunteer in my hometown’s synagogue, the Jewish Educational Center and the International Youth Meeting Center. Since September 2004, I have been teaching twentieth century world history and AP European history at Brewster Academy, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.

When not at school or work, I enjoy hiking, ice and rock climbing and travelling. Some of my favorite places include Prague, Czech Republic, Saas Fee, Switzerland and Chamonix, France.
