Summary

I graduated bachelor's degree in Biology at Jagiellonian University. During the course of the studies, there was opportunity to participate in research projects both in the laboratory and in the field, as well as contribute as a co-author to the scientific article "Dune Blowouts as Microbial Hotspots." Following an internship in the chemical-soil laboratory at the Institute of Botany of Jagiellonian University, and remained there as an unpaid laboratory assistant to gain further experience in laboratory and statistical analyses, equipment and reagent handling, and teamwork in a scientific environment.
These experiences have allowed me to develop skills in analytical thinking, precision, communication, and adherence to research protocols. I am a conscientious, organized individual who values accuracy in all aspects of laboratory tasks, from sample preparation to analysis and reporting of results. Additionally, I hold certification to conduct research involving laboratory animals.

I adapt quickly to new conditions and value good organization, collaboration, and communication in the workplace.
