Life is the way we meet various people. I am lucky to meet interesting and valuable people from all over the world, work with them, and exchange knowledge and experiences. Here are a few words from them about working with me:
Ainhoa Ybáñez
Leader of the Quality Team, direct supervisor in 2019-2020
Dublin, October 13, 2020
Aleksandra is a brilliant and highly talented Quality Analyst with remarkable teamwork skills. I've had the pleasure of working with Aleksandra for two years at Cognizant, during which I've seen her not only excel at the core elements of her job - like auditing voice/email communications, performing RCAs on customer interactions and/or escalations, and providing constructive feedback to agents - but also she has been a key role in the team's growth by assisting in the training and coaching of the new hires. Above all, I was impressed by Aleksandra's expertise in Google tools, such as Google Analytics, Tag Manager, or Merchant Center, and her willingness to support in troubleshooting any related technical issues. Aleksandra would be a true asset to any position related to both customer satisfaction and/or technical support, and her next employer will be lucky to have her.

Highly recommend Aleksandra as a trainer - Was trained by Aleksandra over a number of intense Google Tools and Processes that are hard to communicate over to beginners. Aleksandra however, did display immense abilities to keep the trainees captured and ensured everyone was on the same page while seamlessly delivering the training. Would 100% recommend Aleksandra as a Trainer 5 Stars!

I worked with Aleksandra for my solo exhibition 'Before We Fall Again' at the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology where she works as a curator. Aleksandra is the one of the best curators I have ever worked with, has an ability to pay attention to detail and is a very good judge of what is necessary to be done as a priory and also very good at time management.
She is a great person to collaborate with. She understands the true meaning of cooperation and has patience to oversee that everything goes smoothly. I remember feeling the sense of awe to have found out she stays very humble, calm and fair even under the huge pressure. She is always happy to go for the extra mile to make something possible.
But the best quality I think she has to make her the one of the best curators I have worked with is her strength to stick to what she thinks is good throughly and her courage to say 'no' to what is not working. She possesses a rare quality to be able to explain reasons of affirmation/negation articulately without being lost in a game of word play.
Over a few years of correspondences, planning and working together to materialize an exhibition, we have gained bond and trust. Her honesty and passion for art are something remarkable and rare to see nowadays.
I would not hesitate to recommend her to any institutions or galleries and I will be ecstatic to work with her again.
Krakow, March 2016
​
As a freelancing translator, I have had the privilege, and also the pleasure, of working with Aleksandra on most, if not all, of the projects at the Manggha Museum that she was part of and I never ceased to be impressed by the fact that she came to the table prepared better than everybody else, no matter in what capacity. Her fascination in art and aesthetics and her curiosity of other cultures have been her driving force and inspiration, but that never took away from her professionalism, coupled with clarity of thought and precision in communication when imparting her vision and expectations. Add to that other interpersonal skills, impeccable scheduling and, more importantly, sticking to the schedule, and it becomes obvious why working with her has been a pleasure. Now that Aleksandra has accumulated considerable experience in art research and museum work, she is bound to be a most valuable asset in even the most ambitious projects in these areas.
Stokholm, February 2016

I came in professional contact with Aleksandra Görlich year 2010 when, as an artist interested in Japanese fashion design in particular, I started work on the Kimono Reconstruction Project. This project initiated a conversation with Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Krakow (Poland) where Aleksandra became my contact person for the next 5 years. Since then we have been involved in a dialogue about the art and process of my work for several years and I find her vast knowledge on subject of Japan has been the most valuable support in general and in description of my own work and processes in particular. I greatly value her opinion and her knowledge. As well as Aleksandra's excellent ability to reflect, from the point of her expertise, on the artistic work of others like myself, in a independent but highly knowledgeable and supportive way. My discussions with her about Japanese art, aesthetics and dress intensified while preparing for my exhibition, Kimono Un-perfect exhibition which was held in the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Krakow (Poland) from 18th June till 13th September 2015.
I have found Aleksandra to be a highly recommendable specialist of the Japanese culture and art as well a great writer-storyteller who was able to translate ideas and thoughts into informative and very well written texts.
I can nothing but highly prized her input as a curator for my exhibition Kimono Un-perfect as being throughout professional. Aleksandra is a person with a remarkable ability to turn many potentially charged situations to a mutual win win situations keeping balance and good mood in challenging times all the projects goes trough. This I believe is also one of her great assets.
I can recommend her wholeheartedly, wishing Aleksandra the very best of luck in her future career.]

About Ola Görlich
​
It is with growing admiration that I have followed, now for ten years, Ola’s professional development as a curator, working on a sequence of challenging and complex exhibitions at the Manggha Museum; I have also had the opportunity to work with her on several projects where she was a writer and a proofreader.
I would recommend her professional qualities, such as well-founded and constantly-expanded knowledge in the areas of art history and exhibition practice, diligence and timeliness at work, ability to conduct extensive research, commitment to continued improvement of her qualifications, and also her personal characteristics: enthusiasm and passion, sense of duty and organizational skills, readiness to take up new challenges, diverse (and original) interests, and – last but not least – teamwork skills, but also creativity in organizing her own individual work.
From my profession’s perspective, a gift that is most valuable in research and curatorial work is ease of writing.
As an author and writer, Ola also has a good understanding of responsibility for the written word and style, continues to develop her skills and willingly – as well as effectively – learn from experienced writers. [Translated by Jerzy JuruÅ›]
