Biography
Reason: She was encouraged to take up Para canoeing by coach Jakub Tokarz. "It all started during a gala of one of the foundations in Wroclaw. Tokarz caught up with me and suggested that I try my hand at canoeing. I refused because I didn't want to try another sport. Mainly due to lack of time. Well, after a few days I contacted him and told him that I could come for a consultation, and that's how it started." (sport.tvp.pl, 20 Apr 2023)
