She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2011 and became involved in Para athletics the following year. However, she did not begin competing until 2015. "For a long time, I shied away from competing in Para athletics. To be accepted by the crowd, you first have to accept yourself. It was not easy. But then there was a day when I said to myself, 'It is how it is'." (krakow.wyborcza.pl, 30 Nov 2018)
