A native Austinite and fierce advocate for aspiring first-generation college graduates like herself, Christina became involved with Breakthrough Central Texas in 2014. Her involvement with the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce connected her directly to local communities impacted by the organization, and the organization’s mission of helping students realize postsecondary success so deeply resonated that Christina quickly became a champion for Breakthrough students.

Revlynn Lawson is a Breakthrough Central Texas supporter and board member, and as a first-generation graduate herself is deeply tied to our mission of helping students become the first in their family to earn a college degree. As we grow and expand, we identified a need for individuals with policy making experience, and as an advocate who lobbies for education, Revlynn has been a perfect fit at Breakthrough Central Texas.

Aileene Rosales began her long-term journey with Breakthrough Central Texas 15 years ago, in 2009, not as an employee as a sixth-grade student curious about what it would take to become the first person in her family to graduate college.
