Polish Version Click HereHi and welcome to my web page.
I’m 16 years old and I skate for Poland in Ice Dance. I’m also a Guinness World Record Holder, Canadian Champions Fund Grant Recipient, Scotiabank Community Hero & Charity Worker. I was born in Poland and I live in Barrie, Canada.
I have Canadian, Polish & British nationality and I speak English, Polish & French.
My home club is Miejski Klub Łyżwiarski in Łódź, Poland, but I train full time at the Mariposa International Training Center with my wonderful ice dance partner Joshua (Josh) Andari and our great coaches.
Josh and I represent Poland and we are committed to do whatever it takes, and as long as it takes, to achieve our dream together…..
My journey to get this far has been exciting…
Last season, with my previous partner Peter Paleev, we were the Number 1 ranked Polish Junior team and we qualified for the 2019 World Junior Ice Dance Championships in Zagreb, Croatia.
On January 19, 2015, at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, I broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest spin on ice. My record speed was timed at 342 RPM and I broke the previous world record set in 2006 by 34 RPM! (Watch HERE)
In 2015 I became the Provincial and Atlantic Canada Juvenile Free Skate Champion before making the switch to Ice Dance. I had always dreamed of combining my two passions – skating and dance.
In 2016 I received the SCOTIABANK Young Community Hero Award. This award was presented to me, on behalf of Scotiabank, for my achievements, during a time-out interval in front of a packed hockey stadium.
In 2017 I was one of 30 Canadian recipients of the Dairy Farmers of Canada “Champions Fund Grant” – awarded to deserving female athletes - to help with coaching and training expenses.
In the summer of 2018 I was a City of Barrie Youth Ambassador travelling to Japan and in exchange I hosted a Japanese student in the summer of 2019.
Through my profile and my skating I am able to help my favourite cause - which is making wishes come true for the children from Fundacja Dziecieca Fantazja in Poland who are suffering from terminal illnesses or life-limiting conditions.
To date I have raised over $30,000 for the wishes of these less fortunate children.
I also donated my Guinness World Record Figure Skate & my Guinness Certificate to 9 year-old Weronika, who has spina bifida, to make her wish come true. “Keep fighting Weronika and never give up”.
In September 2019 Josh and I launched our new charitable cause “Skating for Young Heroes”. Click HERE for more details.
