Daniela Hernandez

Daniela was born in Heilbronn, Germany to a U.S. Army staff sergeant and a Mexican immigrant mother. Through watching her parents, she learned how to be of service to others. Daniela is a natural nurturer and spreads her love of people by visiting the dementia unit at her local nursing home and offering free translation services to her community. She happily takes pride in being “the neighborhood mom,” where all the kids can always come and count on a bowl of beans and rice. 

Daniela is working towards her Bachelor of Science in Industrial Psychology and setting the example for her young daughter that dreams are attainable at any age. In her free time, she loves to be surrounded by family & partake in outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, and swimming. 

Daniela brings over 20 years of client support and clerical experience, specializing in de-escalating high-stress situations.
