Mayra Hernandez
¡Hola! My name is Mayra Hernandez, and this will be my second year as a bilingual speech-language pathologist at Blazier. I earned my bachelor’s degree from UT Austin in 2016 and my master’s degree from Texas Woman’s University in 2023. Originally from Houston, TX, but I was raised in Austin, TX. I’m engaged to my high school sweetheart and have two children. Our family also includes three fur babies: two dogs, Chewy and Oreo, and a cat named Skittles.
I want to make sure my students have exactly what they need to succeed, so I've created a project through DonorsChoose, the nonprofit classroom funding site for public school teachers.
Your support would mean so much to my students.
