About me

I am a recent graduate with the Joint Honors Bachelor Degree in Spanish and Eastern European Civilizations from the University of Nottingham in England. I am a hardworking, ambitious person, who always wants to improve every skill already gained and learn new ones. Coming to the United Kingdom at a young age without any family to find a job and to save some money for studies, working at nights to be able to attend English classes to be capable of understanding and communicating with local people and later to study at the university proves this.I am not afraid to take on new challenges.
Apart from physical work I also worked as a volunteer at the Polish Consulate in Quito, Ecuador as well as at a college helping teacher with running English for Speakers of Other Languages classes which I had previously attended as a student. Since leaving Poland at the age of 19 I lived most of the time in Nottingham in Great Britain but I had also spent 6 months in Ecuador and 5 months in Cuba on a university exchange programme.

Preferred location

I'm going to spend 4 months in the US, March and April in Los Angeles and May and June in New York.

Coming to the United Kingdom at a young age without any family to find a job and to save some money for studies, working at nights to be able to attend English classes to be capable of understanding and communicating with local people and later to study at the university proves this. After a few years of tough, physical work in warehouses and factories, doing simple, manual jobs, I am very determined to start working in a completely different environment. I take learning seriously as I have experienced the alternative which was hard physical work. I am not afraid to take on new challenges.
