Hi! I am Miss Hernandez. I am a College of Idaho graduate, and have a passion for advancing educational research for the greater good of my students! When I am not teaching, I love to spend time in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes, or hitting the trails for a long hike. My greatest joy, however, comes from spending quality time with my family.
