A graduate of the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Silesia (1992), she is one of the few individuals in Poland whose expertise in intellectual property law has been comprehensively verified through the successful completion of consecutive legal apprenticeships:

• Judicial apprenticeship (completed in 1994),
