Starting my veterinary studies in Poland I decided to gain more international experience, what has led me to the veterinary school in Hannover, where I finished my clinical years. During and after my studies, I joined veterinarians across Europe in their fieldwork, which has shown how different the education and swine industry can be, being a valuable lesson. This foreign exposure motivated me to join the European College of Porcine Health Management at Gent University, where I have also started PhD studies at the world's best faculty in veterinary science. This place together with the European College gave another kick of great experience and network around and beyond Europe.
