Social worker, social pedagogue. Currently, I work as Assistant Professor at the University of Łódź (Poland), Faculty of Educational Sciences, Department of Educational Studies. In 2014, I completed my PhD in Education at the University of Łódź.

My research interests include social work with people with mental disorders or experiencing mental crises, social work with young people at risk of social exclusion, participatory socio-educational work, professionalisation of social work.
