Meet Deputy District Attorney Ethel Hernandez...
“My parents, who came from Moroleon, Mexico, fostered in me an appreciation for where we came from and instilled in me a desire to better myself and my community. I knew at the age of 5 years old that I wanted to be an attorney and my parents encouraged my career goal by even the small things such as letting me interrupt their tv show so I could watch The People’s Court. My parents’ strong work ethic influenced my determination to achieve my goal of becoming a Deputy District Attorney despite the obstacles that I came across along the way. My mother showed me that it is never too late to get an education when she decided to simultaneously learn English and take regular college courses.
I was working in the District Attorney’s Office as clerical staff when I latched onto the motto “Find a way or make a way!” and made the decision to resume my education after a ten-year hiatus. Obtaining my law degree, passing the bar, and getting hired on with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office are accomplishments in which I take great pride. I always knew that I wanted to help make my community a safe place to live and that I wanted to be an advocate for those that had been victimized, and have diligently tried to fulfill those goals.” - Ethel Hernandez, Deputy District Attorney

“Hispanic Heritage Month reminds us that as a community, we continue to exist and flourish. I proudly say that my roots come from El Poblado La Manza, Michoacan, Mexico. My family came to this country in search of better opportunities, and that has been my motivation to pursue success. Being Mexicana and English my second language, my journey has not been an easy one. However, with pride, dedication, and loyalty, I have taken every opportunity to grow, both professionally and personally. Being bilingual allows me to communicate with the Spanish-speaking population and assist them in a way others cannot. One of my biggest accomplishments is inspiring my fellow Hispanic colleagues to pursue management positions in the District Attorney’s Office.”
-Marlena Tovar, Staff Services Manager
