Jordenne grew up in Southern California, but considers Austin to be home. She served as the Operations Manager with Texas Hillel for almost two years before transitioning to Assistant Director in July 2020 and Associate Director in July 2025. Jordenne has an extensive background in student affairs, operations, and event planning, and is excited to use this knowledge to continue serving students at Texas Hillel!

Jordenne earned both her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and her Master’s Degree in Higher Education Administration from UT. She began her professional career as an Academic Counselor in the Athletics Department at UT, where she was responsible for operations, event planning, student resources, programming, and academic advising for student-athletes. She then went on to serve as part of the Masa Israel Teaching Fellows 2017-2018 cohort in Netanya, Israel, where she was able to participate in Masa’s leadership programming and the Masa Hillel Fellowship.

Jordenne completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in June 2019 and loves helping others connect with yoga in a way that helps them feel good. In her free time, you’ll find her spending time with her dog, Pancake, swimming laps, practicing pilates and yoga, trying to speak Hebrew, cheering on the Longhorns, and appreciating all the breakfast tacos Austin has to offer.
