She is currently undertaking a PhD studying the implementation of care bundles to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Katarzyna is a polish physician, currently working full-time on her Ph.D. research project within the Baby-friendly Ventilation Study Group in Turku, Finland. She is passionate about family-centered care and meaningful parental presence in the NICU. Enthusiast of Latin dances, Polish cuisine, and Finnish nature (excluding mosquitos and snow in May).

Both Vicky and Katarzyna have been strong 99nicu supporters and advocates for a long time, lecturing on our (pre-Covid) annual conferences, moderating webinars and being active members on the forums. @Francesco Cardona and I am very happy to have you coming onboard in the 99nicu Team! We will achieve great things together!
