Biography
She graduated from I LO in Zabrze and the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Silesia in Katowice.[2] She also completed post-graduate MBA studies.[3] Initially, she was employed in Zabrze's city office,[4] and later tied with the public sector. She worked as the primary specialist for legal affairs in a business. She also became the chairman of the management of an industrial company.[3]
She led a local Young Social Democrats Federation chapter,[5] personally a member of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD).[6] With the SLD's support, she unsuccessfully ran in 2010 for a Silesian Voivodeship Sejmik seat,[7] in 2006 and 2014 to the Zabrze city council,[8][9] and in 2015 to the Sejm.[6] She was also chairman of the New Zabrze Association.[4]
In the 2018 local elections she ran for mayor of Zabrze as an independent Civic Coalition (KO) candidate, losing in the second round to Małgorzata Mańka-Szulik, attaning 48% of the vote.[10] However, she earned a seat to the city council.[11] She was the chairman of the city council KO-New Zabrze club.[4] In 2024, she once again ran for mayor of Zabrze (again as an independent KO candidate). In the first round, she had the highest support, and in the second she gained 58% of the vote, defeating Małgorzata Mańka-Szulik.[12] She assumed the office of mayor on 7 May 2024.[13] On 11 May 2025, she was recalled from the office of mayor following a local referendum.[14][15]
