Thanks for joining us for an interview with one of our student exec members, Kaiyla Banks. Kaiyla is a senior who is actively involved and in multiple leadership positions throughout various Christian organizations at Penn and other clubs. She has been an impact to so many people’s lives by being someone who brings the Gospel everywhere she goes, guiding her and others through their faith journey. We are more than grateful for her vulnerability and willingness to share her testimony with us. We hope you find her and her journey in Christ as enlightening and inspiring as we do!
