She is a graduate of the Jagiellonian University, where she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in social policy and a Master’s degree in care and educational pedagogy and public management.

In addition, she is interested in the phenomena of peer violence and aggression, peer exclusion and the specificity of the adolescent period in the psychosocial context.

In her doctoral research, she intends to investigate the impact of digital and socio-emotional competences on the perpetration and experience of cyberbullying from late childhood to early adolescence. Through her research, she also seeks to analyse the coping mechanisms used by victims of cyberbullying and highlight the broad implications of this phenomenon, particularly in the context of peer relationships.
