My name is Magdalena and I currently live in Poznań, Poland with my husband, but my roots stretch back to a tiny village in western Poland where I spent my early childhood with my great-grandmother. Those days were filled with the simple joys of playing in the fields and forests, free from worry. It was during this idyllic time that I first witnessed my great-grandmother’s deep faith and unwavering trust in God, which left a lasting impression on me.

My journey with faith took a significant turn in high school when I encountered a personal crisis that shook me deeply. I distanced myself from church and struggled to find meaning in anything. It was during a summer break, through frequent conversations and prayers with my great-grandmother, that I began to discover what it truly means to have a personal relationship with God.

As a Developing Global Leader, I am pursuing my studies in psychology and cognitive science, as well as serving with Young Life. My academic focus is on understanding the complexities of the human brain, decision-making processes, and improving the quality of medical practice through AI. I envision a future where I can be deeply involved in local ministry, using my energy, knowledge, and leadership skills to help others and introduce them to God. I see this as a significant responsibility, and I am committed to continuously improving my skills so that I can serve others wisely and effectively, always guided by my faith.
