At Temple, Malgorzata has been involved in several student organizations including If/When/How (Reproductive Justice initiative) and the Name Change Project where she helps underrepresented clients work through the paperwork necessary to complete an identity-affirming name change.
Prior to law school, Malgorzata worked in a boutique law firm in Warsaw.
