ABOUT ME

I am a native Pole, moved in my youth to Italy, and raised in Canada. My interests are as varied as my background. I started my studies in the performing and fine arts, finding my creativity in physics and my freedom in finance. I am passionate about seeking out hard-to-articulate problems, finding novel solutions, using out-of-the-box thinking, and considering the human element. 

​

My general interests consist of fine art and art history, wine and eonology, languages, ballet, and skiing!
