She perfected her skills at numerous master classes given by Brigitte Fassbaender, Barbara Schlick, Elly Ameling, Nicolai Gedda, Roger Vignoles, Benno Schollum, Paul Esswood and Emma Kirkby.
She is a prizewinner of the international vocal competition in Gdańsk (1993), the Mozart Competition in Southport (1995), and the Bach Competition in Leipzig (1998). She was among the finalists of the ard Competition in Munich (1998).
She has developed a fine career, with appearances in Poland and abroad, in countries such as Britain, France, Belgium, Austria, Jordan and Switzerland. Her most memorable performances have included Haydn's Nelson Mass with Liverpool Mozart Players in London's Barbican Centre and the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in the Tonhalle in Zurich and Mozart's Requiem in major concert venues in France, as well as at a concert on the 150th anniversary of Chopin's death in the Church of St Madeleine.

On the operatic stage she has collaborated with such distinguished conductors as Richard Bonynge, Jacek Kaspszyk, Andrzej Straszyński and Leopold Hager.
