About

I'm an Affiliated Researcher at the Two Wings Institute in Wrocław, Poland, and a Visiting Lecturer at the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology in Cambridge, UK. I'm also a member of the IDEAS Lab at the University of Warsaw. I hold a PhD in Biblical Studies from the University of Manchester. My educational background also includes Polish and Hebrew philologies (University of Warsaw) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring (SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw). My research interests encompass areas such as prophetic literature, biblical reception and models of engagement with Scripture in the Catholic Church. As an Associate Lecturer at the Medical University of Warsaw, I teach in medical humanities. Additionally, I practise as a coach, specialising in academic coaching and academic writing coaching. I see my commitment to education as an active practitioner of Godly Play. Moving between these areas of engagement, I discovered the diverse and rich zone in which different paradigms of reasoning – scientific and artistic, or critical and empathic – intersect and influence each other in what has been described by the renowned cellist Yo-yo Ma as the "edge effect." Since then, I have been exploring this zone in poetry and collage. Having resided in Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Manchester, and Cambridge, I currently live in the Żywiec area in southern Poland, together with my astronomer husband, our three children, and our dog.
