In 1990-1992, she worked in educational and Social Society in Warsaw, then to 1998 in the Chancellery of the Sejm, where she was the Vice-Marshals secretary Jack Kurczewski, Olga Krzyżanowska and John King. In 1998-2002 she served as Director of the Office of the Director-General of the Office for War Veterans and Repressed Persons. Since 2002, she has worked as director of the Office of the President of Warsaw.
