Crystal Lister was crowned Ms. Collegiate Mom America 2026, a title that beautifully reflects the intersection of motherhood, education, and purpose-driven leadership. As a mother, doctoral student, NASA professional, entrepreneur, and STEM advocate, Crystal uses her platform to challenge the idea that women must choose between raising a family and pursuing bold dreams. Her journey represents a lifelong commitment to learning, service, and creating pathways for children and families to see themselves in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through her work with Mommy and Me: The Listers and The STEMagicians, she transforms STEM into an experience filled with wonder, confidence, and possibility. This crown is not only a personal achievement; it is a platform to amplify her mission of inspiring mothers to keep reaching higher while empowering the next generation to believe they belong in every room where innovation happens.
