Alongside Chad, she co-founded Pathways School of Masonry, an accredited post-secondary education and training program for individuals reentering society after incarceration, in partnership with Hope for Prisoners at their new vocational village. Crystal is committed to making a difference in the lives of others every day and often says, “Kindness is contagious and free; we should spend our time sharing it with others.” In her spare time, she enjoys writing children's stories for her children and grandchildren.
