When martial law was imposed, she was held in an internment camp. She continued to work with various opposition groups until 1989. Among others, she was active in the Freedom and Peace Movement (WiP). She graduated from the University of Warsaw with a master’s degree in history in 1987.
During her doctoral studies in the United States, she worked as an intern at two prestigious newspapers – The Washington Times and The Washington Post – and at the weekly The New Republic.
In 1992, she started her career at Polish Television. Over the years, her positions at Polish Television have included the head of the reporters team, a deputy head of the Wiadomości TVP prime time news program, a national news reporter, an editor at Wiadomości TVP, a correspondent and an international reporter. She also served as the director of the channel TVP Polonia (addressed to Polish expatriates) and the director of Polish Television’s regional studio in Białystok.
