She developed her dance career at Pracownia Tańca Pryzmat in Olsztyn, where she performed on philharmonic and theatre stages and also worked as an instructor. She further developed her skills at the Kraków Dance Theatre, OFFicyna Dance Studio, and through international workshops in Poland and France. 

As a versatile artist, she has been creating original choreographic projects inspired by different cultures for many years. She also performs fire dance shows set to ethnic music, including at SLOT Art Festival. She has received numerous individual awards at national contemporary dance competitions and has performed in stage productions, musicals and music videos, including PALLADIO by Cello 2 Cello. 

In her artistic work, she combines the discipline of martial arts with the sensitivity and expressiveness of dance. She is also involved in community-based dance and arts projects. She considers her involvement in Africa Days in Olsztyn, a project combining academic, cultural and educational activities, to be one of her most important experiences. As part of the initiative, she coordinates artistic workshops and volunteering activities in support of the Dzieci Madagaskaru Foundation.
