Student Feature – Ava Hernandez

A True People Person

Growing up around the beauty pageant circuit, Ava Hernandez has a unique ability to connect with people from various backgrounds and cultures. A warm and passionate person, she learned to create similar connections with patients while working at a dental office. Learning to build such connections allowed her to better serve patients with their scheduling needs and insurance claims.

An active member of Harris Creek Baptist Church during her time at Baylor, Ava is thankful for the close community and support this church provides. She credits her ProSales classes with helping her learn how to create networking opportunities for herself, inside and outside of the classroom.

Originally a nursing major, Ava appreciates how the ProSales community welcomed her in and has given her a community of students who push and support one another toward their goals. The program has also taught her that she is capable of so much more than she thought, giving her real-world experience that has prepared her to bring her people skills to her future sales career.
