Acting, to me, is a combination of courage, attentiveness, and a readiness to be surprised – by the role, the process, and by myself.


I began on stage at Studio Buffo Theatre, performing in musicals like Romeo and Juliet, Metro, and Panna Tutli Putli. Musical theatre taught me discipline, precision, and how to merge physicality with emotion – how to tell a story not only with words, but with the body, movement, and breath.


The camera came soon after – and I was instantly captivated. In the adventure film The Adventurers: From Here to Oblivio, I played Viola – a complex, strong, and striking antagonist.


A major journey for me was portraying Basia Borkowska in the acclaimed series Stulecie Winnych (The Century of the Winny Family) – a character growing up in turbulent times, constantly navigating between loyalty, emotion, and her own truth.


In Matki Pingwinów (Penguin Mothers), I played Iwona – a woman of fire and instinct, with a softness hidden beneath the armor. I’m drawn to contrasts like that.


I developed my craft not only in Poland – I also had the privilege of training at the legendary Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York. That experience opened me up to working through the body, the emotions, and raw inner impulses – a deep dive into the truth of each character.


What interests me most in acting is the search, the presence, and the emotional commitment – the chance to simply be: real, alive, and fully engaged.
