#WhyLBJ 🤘 Incoming freshman Annabella Ruiz is joining us on the Forty Acres with a passion for service and a vision to uplift her community in the Rio Grande Valley. From launching a small business at 13 to founding the first National Charity League chapter in South Texas, Bella’s path to public affairs started early. She chose the LBJ School for our focus on real-world policy and hopes to use her time here to grow as a leader and give back. After graduation, she’s open to whatever comes next! Her ultimate goal is “to serve and uplift communities like mine.” 🔗 Link in bio to read more about Bella and why she chose LBJ!
