As the largest, most-recognized organization of women in the country, spanning virtually every industry and profession, the National Association of Professional women is a powerfully vibrant networking community with over 600,000 members and nearly 400 Local Chapters.

Ms. Hernandez’s academic credentials include a Bachelor of Arts from Whitman College (Walla Walla, WA) in 2003, a Bachelor of Science from Washington State University (Pullman, WA) in 2006 and a Master of Science in Human Biology with a graduate certificate in Health Services Administration from Eastern Washington University (Cheney, WA) in 2009.
