Kasia joins LNCS on March 30th. With nearly a decade of experience providing administrative support across multiple departments at Virginia Tech, Kasia built a career rooted in organization, collaboration, and service. Before entering higher education, she served as Director of the Blacksburg Children’s Museum, where she helped strengthen a young nonprofit and expand hands-on learning opportunities for families in the community.

Long before her professional path took shape, Kasia discovered that sailing was her life’s passion. Her dad taught her to sail on a small centerboard boat he built in their backyard, along with the unforgettable thrill of capsizing in the cold lakes of northern Poland. Throughout high school, she spent most of her free time sailing on the Baltic and North Seas, eventually earning her skipper certifications.

Kasia's sailing journey has carried her from European waters to the Chesapeake Bay, Pamlico Sound, and stretches of the U.S. East Coast. She raced for two years in Annapolis and, since 2020, has been a regular on the starting line at Lake Norman after joining LNCS and later LNYC.

Kasia is a proud mom of two amazing sailing teens, Iza and Lilly, who have been around boats since preschool. Together, the family is excited to share their love of sailing with the Lake Norman community and help introduce more people—young and adult—to this incredible sport.

Welcome, Kasia!
