Her parents wanted their four kids to obtain college degrees in the United States. The Jolley’s family fulfilled their dreams by sending their four children to study abroad. Dr. Jolley was the oldest of the four so she was the first member of the family who, as all immigrants, went through painful culture shock. She needed to adjust to an unfamiliar culture and a new language to achieve her educational goals. The cultural and language barriers did not stop her from fulfilling her parents’ dreams. The first school Dr. Jolley enrolled was the University of Texas at Austin, Texas where she attended English as a second language classes (ESL). After completing her ESL program, Dr. Jolley enrolled at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. Later, she transferred to the University Of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, a Master’s Degree in Information Systems. In 2008, she obtained a Doctorate of Organizational Management. Dr. Jolley decided to conduct a case study for her dissertation that would provide an insight of the skills that she observed were needed for new Hispanic comers or Hispanic immigrants of 1st or 2nd generations to become successful leaders in the United States. Dr. Jolley lives in El Paso, Texas. She is married and she has three kids.
