Monika Wisniewska was born in Grudziadz, Poland in 1979. She studied to be an English Teacher and received a Master's Degree in EU Economic Relations. In December, 2004, shortly after Poland entered European Union, she travelled to England in search of a better life. She started working at the bottom of the career ladder but gradually progressed to senior level positions in global companies. In 2018, she wrote her memoir 'Polish Girl; In Pursuit of the English Dream', where she shared her experiences as a Polish immigrant in England and her reflections on different areas of life from her 13-year adventure, including friendships and love relationships that led her to a profound self-discovery.
