Joanna Witwicka, EdKompas CEO – My Story

​​​
Once upon a time, I was just like you—waking up early, heading to school and then work, daydreaming about my future, and feeling like there was something greater out there waiting for me. I didn’t have an expert to guide me, no one to answer my questions or help me navigate my dreams. All I had was hard work and determination. One day, I made a bold decision that I want to study abroad: first at Sorbonne in Paris and then at the University of Oxford. It could sound ambitious for a 16-year-old Polish girl attending a public school with no one around her speaking a foreign language, right? Well, guess what? I did it—and graduated from both with honors. Every step of this journey shaped who I am today and inspired me around 20 years later to create Edkompas—a platform to guide you on your own adventure.
But let me be real—it wasn’t always a smooth ride. It was full of challenges, self-doubt, and a lot of figuring things out on my own. My parents and friends, who are my great supporters and an amazing source of love and strength, were always there for me. But as much as they wanted to help (and I’m forever grateful for everything they’ve done), they couldn’t possibly know how to navigate the complex university admissions process—and that’s perfectly okay!
While I was busy finding my calling, life led me down some exciting paths. Along the way, I did internships at the French Ministry, the Polish Embassy and at the United Nations in Geneva. I won an Outstanding Leadership Award in Education in Dubai, published in two books, contributed to improving student evaluations in Cameroon arm to arm with UNESCO, and completed three humanitarian missions in Africa, teaching women and children how to read and write.
I then spent over eight years working with top Swiss universities in admissions, starting as a counselor and growing into a director role. During that time, I spent an average of 100+ days a year in hotels, traveling the world to meet and counsel students like you, helping them find their paths to top universities.
My years in admissions connected me with hundreds of universities worldwide, from the most prestigious institutions to highly specialized programs. I know the ins and outs of educational systems across the globe, and there’s no country where I can’t guide you through submitting a stellar application. Seriously—no country. When you work with me, you’re not just getting advice; you’re gaining access to a global network and expertise that can open doors to opportunities you may never have imagined.
Now, let me give you the inside scoop. While Oxford gave me a world-class education, it also equipped me with top-notch knowledge on assessing skills, motivation, and interests using the best licensed tests. With these tools, I’ll help you dig deep—so deep you might be surprised by what you’re truly capable of. Don’t worry, though; it’s all backed by science. Trust me, I’m a doctor! (Well, almost—I’m currently working on my PhD at the University of Geneva in student evaluations.)
And here’s one more thing—at EdKompas, I work with the best people, and my non-negotiable hiring criteria aren’t what some might expect. To join my team, one first needs to have a good heart and, most importantly, be compassionate. Why? Because I want everyone who works with me to care about your journey as much as I do.
So, if you’re ready to study abroad, explore your potential and take that leap toward your dreams, you’ve come to the right place. Leave me a message, and I will personally reach out to you very soon!​
