How We Became The Texas Angel's
Allison Knox
Founder
Hometown - San Antonio, TX
Graduated - December 2015
Degree - Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, Minor in Communications
Where are you now? - I’m currently living in San Antonio and work from home as an instructional designer where I create e-learning courses for corporate employees. It’s super fun and creative. I’m still close with Laura (the org’s co-founder) and we try to plan frequent weekend trips around the country for fun. Other than that, I spend my time developing travel plans (currently planning a trip to Germany), reading, cooking, and checking out new places for brunch/happy hour.
Favorite thing about Texas Angels? - Retreats! I loved being able to get away with everyone and have time to bond. The retreats gave us time to get to know each other and reflect.
Fun Fact - I LOVE cooking. Almost everything I eat is homemade, unless I'm being bad and eating out!
Laura Fragosa Hiller

Hometown - Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico
Graduated - Spring 2016
Degree - Bachelors of Science in Radio, Television, Film and Business Foundations Degree
Where are you now? - Currently working as a UIUX Designer at USAA in San Antonio
Favorite thing about Texas Angels? - My favorite part about Texas Angels was watching the organization grow from an idea engendered by just three people to a thriving Sisterhood made up of beautiful, ambitious, and intelligent women. Watching that journey and transformation from day one to now is so incredible. Now, as an Alumni, it's so great to see the organization take its first steps on its own, without its founders- it was really a proud moment.
Fun Fact - I started hosting my own radio show at the age of five
