Love, marriage and a baby carriage. Giving birth to their amazing son Xavier. Alina and David, launched their next chapter in 2019, and currently they are also enjoying bringing up their son in the multilingual environment.
After a few years of working as an academic teacher and English coach confidence, I decided to pursue my passion for promoting EU-Canada bilateral relations and founded the Polish Academy of Canada to create the excellent international leaders.
Why Canada?
As we continue to assess the political challenges around us today, it is important to remember the good that has (and can) come from our future leaders. Canada has earned its reputation as a country focused on making positive changes around the world. Canadians are making an impact with their EXCELLENT LEADERSHIP and GENEROSITY. Speaking from my experience, it is in Canada where I have found myself and gained my goal-setting abilities, and a good head-start which now helps me to bring joy, inspire others and reach my dreams.
I studied English philology at the University of Silesia, Poland, and also finished there my doctorate studies in Canadian Literatures and Cultures. I am the recipient of Competitive Government of Canada Program Grant and EU-Canada Study Tour Thinking Tour. I studied the EU – Canada bilateral relations in such prominent institutions as the European Parliament, European Council, European Commission, European Court of Justice, and the Canadian Mission to the European Union, as well as many think tanks and NGO’s. In 2012 I undertook the internship at the Polish Consulate in Toronto where I was responsible for promotion of Poland in Canada.
