I was born in Warsaw on 16 May 1979.
After graduating from the XXXVII Jarosław Dąbrowski Secondary School in Warsaw (class with extended programme of German language) and passing my final examination, in 1998 I started Master’s studies of law at the Academy of Catholic Theology in Warsaw (shortly afterwards, the school changed its name to the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University). During those studies, I also studied for a year under the Programme Socrates-Erasmus, at the Faculty of Law of Dresden Technical University (academic year 2002/2003). After returning from Dresden, in the academic year 2003/2004 I participated in and completed with distinction, a course in German and European law, organised by the German Law School associated with the Faculty of Law and Administration of Warsaw University. Simultaneously, I worked on my Master’s thesis at the Civil Procedures Department of the Law Faculty of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University, the defence of which I accomplished on 14 June 2004, completing my studies with a very good mark. The following academic year I started Master’s postgraduate studies at the Law Faculty of Georg August University in Göttingen. Which were possible thanks to the prestigious scientific scholarship granted me by Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (German Academic Exchange Organisation). I completed my studies in Göttingen on 22 February 2006, receiving the title „Magister iuris”. From 2006 to 2010 I went through legal training with the Provincial Chamber for Legal Advisors in Warsaw and having successfully passed the required examination I was listed as Legal Advisor by the Council of the said Chamber in 2010.
After returning from studies in Göttingen, I was briefly employed as legal assistant at Kancelaria (Law Office) Domański Zakrzewski Palinka in Warsaw (September 2006 – February 2007). Since 2007, I have been working as a lawyer for bnt Neupert, Zamorska & Partners legal office in Warsaw (currently as a legal advisor).
In July 2007 I joined the Confederation of Polish Nobility.
I am fluent in the German language, and I speak very good English. On a basic level, also Russian.
I am interested in contemporary politics both Polish and international, and in the history of Poland and Germany. I enjoy biking expeditions, also rollerblading (skating in winter).
Some words about my family:
The family Niemirowicz-Szczytt coat of arms Jastrzębiec, is a family of senators and dignitaries originating from Lithuania, whose history dates back to the turn of 14th and 15th centuries. The first part of the name is derived from Jan Niemira from Wsielub (he was the equerry of the Grand Duke Witold/Vytautas and the governor of Polotsk), who in 1413 together with 46 other representatives of the families of Roman-Catholic Lithuanian boyars, took part in the signing of the Union of Horodło, accepting the Polish coat of arms Jastrzębiec from the then bishop of Krakow, Wojciech Jastrzębiec. One of Jan Niemira’s grandsons, our ancestor Jakub Niemirowicz (Lithuanian starost of Brest, hospodar marshal, died 1494), was called by his contemporaries "Szczyt" (“peak”), what is also reflected by our family name. I am descended from the castellan branch of our family, originating from Kożangródek. My ancestors since the beginnings of the 18th century until the outbreak of World War 2, were the heirs to the property Kożangródek, situated in Polesia (now Belarus).
Gens nobilium dominorum Niemirowicz-Szczytt de clenodio Jastrzębiec, senatoriis honoribus insignita, cuius historia iam saeculo XIV exeunte inchoatur, ex Lithuania originem ducit. Prima nominis pars a Ioanne Niemira de Wsielub, M. D. Witoldi Praefecto Stabuli nec non Capitaneo Polocensi, dicta est. Illum Niemiram, una cum quadraginta sex aliis viris, qui boiarorum Lithuanorum, fidem Romanam profitentium, partes agebant, unioni in Horodel constituendae interfuisse atque ab Adalberto Jastrzębiec, episcopo Cracoviensi, signum clenodiale Jastrzębiec accepisse memoriae traditum est. Unus ex Ioannis Niemira nepotibus, Capitaneus Brescius Lithuanus Iacobus Niemirowicz, qui nostrae stirpis auctor factus est, a contemporaneis suis cognomine Szczyt appellari solebat, unde altera nominis gentilicii pars orta est. Quod ad me ipsum attinet, adhaereo gentis nostrae ramo castellaneo, virgae Kożangrodensi. Maiores mei a saeculo XVIII ineunte usque ad novissimi belli mundani tempus patrimonium Kożangródek in Polesia, nunc extra fines reipublicae in Alba Russia situm hereditabant.
