Distinguished Alumni  |  Wyandotte High School  |  Class of 2006

Crystal Ellison is an attorney, United States Air Force Reserve Captain, children’s author, entrepreneur, and community leader whose career reflects perseverance, education, and service. A 2006 graduate of Wyandotte High School, she became the first person in her family’s generation to earn both a college degree and a law degree. She currently serves as a Senior Litigation Attorney with Allstate Insurance, a Captain and Assistant Staff Judge Advocate in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, and the 2026 President of the Jackson County Bar Association.

Crystal is also the founder and CEO of Serenity Infinity Books, LLC, and the author of the award-winning children’s book Aubri’s Story: Rising Above Bullying. Inspired by her own experiences and those of her daughter, she uses literacy, school visits, public speaking, and mentorship to encourage kindness, resilience, confidence, and courage. Her service across the legal profession, military, and Kansas City community demonstrates how personal achievement can become a platform for creating opportunities and hope for others.
