Bio
Anna Saraste
I worked with Katarzyna on several occasions - first, her leading the groups I participated in, and later as a fellow team member. At European Youth Press, Katarzyna did not only hold a leadership position, but lead people by her example and natural talent for taking on great responsibility. I have rarely found anyone so dedicated, focused, and professional in my working life. A special mention needs to be said for Katarzyna's intercultural skills, which she has developed to a very high standard throughout years of managing international teams and projects.

Katarzyna is a natural leader: skilful, resourceful and multitasking. Being a team-builder, she inspires people around her and motivates to pursue their dreams. I had the honour to work with her on some European Youth Press Projects and was astonished by her hard work, responsibility, emotional intelligence and intellectual flexibility. Through the years, she did not loose her curiosity towards the world and never stopped learning new things. She is the best expert I know to execute a project in a creative or media industry with the maximum result.
