Her experience was built up during the internship in charity organisation ASLAN Association, in Warsaw, where she continued to develop her professional skills during the course of her studies. Her focal point of interest was working in group modalities with children and adolescents, which she found both challenging and inspiring at the same time. Additionally, she used to organise psychoeducation workshops, workshops on parenting skills, work in individual therapy with young adults. Her work was supervised by professional senior members of Instytut Rasztow, by people who she have great respect for and who she considers as personal mentors.

Karolina learned in the course of her own personal development that any kind of change in our life plans, even the one seen as adversity, is a combination of risks and opportunities, losses and gains, and it takes both courage and determination to make use out of it.
