The road to recovery has been complicated and full of twists and turns for Crystal Holland, but it has led her to exactly where she needs to be. Holland turned her life around and found UT San Antonio as a place where she could continue to pursue her life dreams, but she has done so much more than that. She has turned her education and her passion project into something bigger and in between all of that, she has incorporated her degree in mechanical engineering.

Her story is inspiring. Her "why" is incredible. Her passion and drive to help others makes us proud to call her a roadrunner.

Keep going, Crystal. You truly are amazing. Birds up.
