Curriculum Vitae
Born in 1993 in Bremen, I grew up bilingual, speaking both German and Polish. After completing my Abitur at the Alte Gymnasium Oldenburg, I pursued my law studies at the University of Münster, specialising in International Law.
I gained valuable international experience through study programs in Wrocław and Barcelona, as well as internships at prestigious law firms in Warsaw. After passing my first state exam, I completed my legal clerkship in the district of the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf, concurrently working as a research assistant at an international law firm.
My clerkship took me through various stages, including the District Court and Public Prosecutor’s Office in Düsseldorf, the German Embassy in Warsaw, and a leading law firm in London.

I bring a global outlook and a deep passion for family law, leveraging my legal expertise and intercultural skills to provide effective representation. I am committed to offering personalised and compassionate service, with the ability to assist clients in German, English, and Polish to best serve their needs.
