My work focuses on topics related to ecology, human rights issues, social movements and protest, though I am interested in covering any subject related to breaking news or current affairs. I am available for assignment anywhere in Europe. In addition to visual journalism, I am available to work as a fixer anywhere in Poland. Having been born and raised by a Polish immigrant family in California, I am a native speaker of English and completely fluent in Polish.
