Teresa was always a talented writer and an outspoken organizer. Even as a teenager she wrote winning essays, albeit in what was then communist Poland. Her life's story meanders from village to town to city to large metropolis... she's never stayed put in a place longer than a decade, but always long enough to acquire intimate knowledge of the community she resided in. Although she is an economist with a Master's degree from Cracow University of Economics, she has held all kinds of jobs: she was a farmer, an accountant, a real estate agent, a home attendant, small business consultant, a travel agent, a tailor, a saw mill laborer, a teacher, an inspector, a tax preparer, and now having rediscovered her talent: a writer. Her modus operandi in life was to know herself and others, her works are the result of her quest for that knowledge.
