Luz Maria Hernandez Romero
My name is Luz Hernandez, and I am originally from the beautiful state of Morelos, Mexico. My teaching journey began in Mexico, where I discovered my passion for education and supporting students. In 2002, I moved to the United States and have had the privilege of working with Denver Public Schools (DPS) ever since. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to supporting bilingual students and partnering with Latino families to foster academic and personal success.
Outside of work, I love exploring new places and creating memories through travel. Spending quality time with my family and friends brings me immense joy, and I find peace in long outdoor walks surrounded by nature. Dancing is another passion of mine, as it allows me to express myself and stay connected to my cultural roots.
I am incredibly excited and feel honored to be part of the Munroe Family. I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues, engaging with students, and building strong connections with our wonderful community!
