We’re delighted to share updates following recent officer elections for the Learning Bridge Board of Directors. These leaders bring deep commitment to youth, education, and community support, and we’re grateful for the experience and heart they bring to our mission.
Welcoming Our Newly Elected Board President: Carole Wall
After two years of dedicated service on the Learning Bridge board, most recently as Secretary, Carole Wall has been elected Board President.
Carole brings a strong background in child welfare, trauma‑informed care, and community support. Earlier in her career, Carole served as a CPS Investigator, Caseworker, Supervisor, and Forensic Interviewer. These experiences have shaped her understanding of the challenges facing children and families in Central Texas and strengthened her commitment to supporting education and opportunity.
“As I step into the role of Board President for Learning Bridge, I am honored to build on a strong foundation of empowering youth and supporting our community. Together with our allies and stakeholders, I believe we can continue making Learning Bridge a powerful force for opportunity
and transformation.”
Newly Elected Officers

Kristy has been a thoughtful, engaged board member, bringing her background in nonprofit development, grant writing, and education to Learning Bridge.
Camille Ip – Secretary
Camille began with Learning Bridge as a volunteer tutor and quickly brought her experience in elevating organizational missions and expanding partnerships.
We Are Thankful for Our Outgoing Officers
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Erin Hudson, who has served as Board President with dedication, passion, and boundless energy. Her leadership helped guide Learning Bridge through meaningful growth, and we are deeply grateful for her service and are happy to have her continued support as a board member.
We also thank Promod Radhakrishnan, who has served as both Vice President and Secretary during his time on the board. His steady leadership and commitment have been invaluable and are happy to have his continued support as a board member.
Welcoming New Board Member
We’re thrilled to welcome Anayeli Jaimes to the Learning Bridge Board of Directors. For the past six months, she has served on our Fundraising Committee, where she helped bring our first‑ever virtual run fundraiser to life.
Anayeli is a healthcare executive and former pediatric nurse whose early clinical work shaped her commitment to advocacy and supporting others. In her current role, she partners with healthcare teams to strengthen patient care and champion frontline staff. Originally from Austin, Anayeli loves being part of a community that values connection and opportunity. Outside of work, you can usually find her running (she’s run a marathon in all 50 states), traveling, trying new recipes, or hanging out with her rescue pup, Gordon Ramsay.
“I’m excited to serve on the Learning Bridge board and be part of an organization making a real impact in students’ lives.”
We’re grateful to have her voice, experience, and energy on the board.
Looking Ahead
Learning Bridge is powered by Central Texas neighbors — tutors, partners, donors, and community leaders – who believe in the potential of every student we serve. By uplifting our students academically, we’re helping them create stability, possibility, and pathways out of cycles of hardship.
