She came to know Jesus through the ministry of Athletes in Action. She met and interacted with them while attending basketball high school in Warsaw and playing for the Polish National Team. From high school, she went to America to play and study. She received a Bachelor's degree in Economics and went back to Poland to pursue a dream of playing professional basketball. Post-graduation time was very different from what she imagined. Many of her dreams came true, but she felt empty inside. She started asking questions and eventually surrendered her life to God. With a desire to grow in faith, she moved to Warsaw and joined Campus Crusade for Christ to win, build and send people in the name of Jesus.
