Crystal Cruz - Paralegal
Crystal was born and raised in South Padre Island, Texas. She studied at the University of Texas at Austin and graduated in December of 2021. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and History, making her the first woman in her family to graduate college.
During her time in undergrad, she was a member of Partners Against Child Trafficking and a mentor in the Foundation Scholars Program. The Foundation Scholars Program holds a special place in Crystals heart, as she was able to mentor low-income, first-generation college students, such as herself, to ensure they graduated in the traditional four-year period.
Crystal’s passion towards helping immigrants stems from growing up in a predominately Hispanic town and being the daughter of an immigrant herself.
