Regional Director - West & South

Jolene Hernandez -Beta

Hi my names Jolene, and I am an alumna of Delta Xi Phi’s Beta Chapter at the University of California, Chico. Being part of DXP was one of the best things I could have done in college. I found the most incredible women and such a beautiful sisterhood. Not only within Beta chapter but nationwide. I was beyond excited to run for SouthWest regional director and continue to support my sisterhood!

I graduated Spring 2026 with a major in Criminal Justice. I am currently looking to pursue higher education at either a Law School or getting my masters degree. I am also beginning my career as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), working with two different companies that support children with autism. This work has given me a deeper passion for supporting, advocating for, and making a positive difference in the lives of children with special needs.

On my free time I love to hang out with my family and friends. I love to attend festivals, travel whenever I can, or even binge watch a new show! I absolutely have a passion for traveling and do it atleast three times a year! I want to explore all that life has to offer while I continue to grow personally and professionally.
