She completed her Bachelor’s degree in Biophysics, specialising in Ophthalmic Optics, and was awarded her Bachelor’s degree in 2012. In 2014, she was awarded a Master’s degree in Optometry from the same university. She completed a two-year scholarship programme for optometrists organised by Alcon in the United Kingdom. She was a doctoral student at the Laboratory of Vision Physics and Optometry at Adam Mickiewicz University (UAM) from 2014 to 2020. In 2022, she was awarded a PhD in the field of exact and natural sciences, in the discipline of physical sciences (in the field of vision sciences) – the title of her doctoral thesis was ‘Cortical sources of vergence eye movements’.

She is a lecturer and research fellow at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, affiliated with the Laboratory of Vision Physics and Optometry, where she also carried out her doctoral research on the neurophysiology of eye movements. She has presented the results of her research at numerous national and international conferences. She delivers lectures and runs workshops on optometry.

She is the author of academic and popular science publications in the fields of optometry and neuroscience. She is a member of the Polish Society of Optometry and Optics.

In her professional practice, she specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of visual impairments in children and adults, such as refractive errors, visual impairment, strabismus, accommodation-convergence disorders, oculomotor dysfunctions, visual difficulties with learning and reading, visual perception disorders, and visual deficits in neurological patients; she also monitors the progression of myopia.
