2025 Famous Alumni Spotlight: Crystal Stevens

ACHS Famous Alumni Crystal Stevens

Crystal Stevens is a force for change in the world of herbalism, sustainability, and earth stewardship. A longtime herbalist, educator, author, and organic farmer, Crystal’s connection to ACHS dates back to 2006, when she enrolled in her first formal herbal training. That foundational education gave her the knowledge and confidence to pursue her dreams of creating a life centered around plants, people, and the planet.

With her Bachelor of Science in Integrative Health Sciences degree from ACHS, she was accepted to graduate school and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Biology at Miami University through Project Dragonfly, further expanding her reach as a scientist, advocate, and educator.
