Monica Hernandez

My name is Monica Hernandez and I consider myself Mexicana de corazon, but I was born in East Los Angeles.  Currently, I am a Community Navigator with RISE Colorado and I truly enjoy helping my community.  I truly enjoy helping the Latinx community navigate the complex system we live in.  I believe in hard work and perseverance and I am sure that these two values have taken me and will take me to unimaginable places.  In the near future I would like to help my community more and I know education is imperative to accomplish such.  I see myself being a social worker to help address many of the social challenges minorities face, especially the Latinx community.  Finally,  I love attending cultural events that will enrich my knowledge of different cultures around the world. I like to involve my children in such activities because they learn about the world and to be part of the larger community we are part of.
