From selling cookies to standing up for others, Crystal Estrada has always been driven by service. Growing up in a low-income community in Fontana, California, she saw firsthand how gaps in the justice system impacted families — and decided early on she wanted to be part of the solution.

Now, the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice's spring 2026 Outstanding Graduate has earned her bachelor's and plans to complete a master’s degree in public administration. After that, it's on to law school, with the goal of becoming a public defender for underserved communities.
