Aylin Parrazal-Bravo
Student Trustee
Aylin Parrazal-Bravo was selected by Governor Ferguson to be CWU’s Student Trustee for the 2026-27 academic year. Aylin is a third-year law and justice and political science major with a talent for community service and advocacy.
She is passionate about civic work and serving the people in her community. Through her student perspective and student government perspective, she hopes to broaden her understanding even further at the institutional level.
Originally from Lake Tahoe, California, Parrazal-Bravo’s family moved to Central Washington when she was in seventh grade. After starting out in Roslyn, they ended up settling in Yakima, where she graduated from Eisenhower High School. When she decided to attend college at CWU, she became the first in her family to do so.
Her path became clear to her during an internship with APOYO, a nonprofit food bank on the Ellensburg campus that has been faced with budget cuts in recent years.
Parrazal-Bravo’s passion for justice has given her a broad appetite within the field, one she hopes to leverage on her way to her ultimate career goal.
During her time at CWU, Parrazal-Bravo has served as vice president of the Law and Justice Club, as well as Senate Speaker for ASCWU student government, positions that she says have prepared her well for her new role.
Outside of school, Parrazal-Bravo works as a street outreach specialist for Rod’s House, a Yakima-based nonprofit working to end youth homelessness through a variety of services.
The organization does homeless prevention and assistance for Yakima youth, helping them find a place to sleep, wash their clothes, and get a good meal. They also teach classes on cooking, cleaning, CPR, and other essential life skills that might not be available to everyone.
With a new school year fast approaching, Parrazal-Bravo finds herself looking forward to seeing her professors, meeting new friends, and making an impact in the community she has grown to love.
