Maria Hernandez, BSW

I became a Wacoan 8 years ago. While my journey during college was not the easiest, I learned to trust myself and others around me who wished for my success. I am someone who will never give up when things get hard or give up on anyone I meet. I believe that everyone has strengths and a story worth telling the world about.

I have seen first-hand what a person's self-determination can accomplish for them, which is why I strive to empower others to find their strengths and motivations. While life can present us with treacherous roads, we can reach our goals and dreams with the right support system and motivation.

Some of my favorite pastimes are watching shows/documentaries/movies with my spouse, reading (or buying) books, listening to music, and letting my Corgi and Boston terrier in and out of the house...every 15 minutes.
