I learn
From my PhD advisor Dr. Przemysław Żukiewicz and my academic fairy godmother and auxiliary PhD advisor Dr. Katarzyna Jędrzejczyk-Kuliniak who are the best, most supportive, always available, got-you-when-you-need-me, I-see-you advisors out there.
From my MA advisor Dr. Maliha Chishti who inspired me to conduct courageous and unapologetically feminist research.
From Dr. Cate Fugazzola who showed me exactly what I want to be like in the classroom and from Dr. Kamil Błaszczyński who showed immense generosity and took many hours of his time to teach me stats.
And from my husband who, very much to my benefit, *enjoys* using excel and knows how to code.
Say hello
