Sandra Hernández is the Head Start Administrator for Alabama Direct Services. With the support of her team, she oversees five educational campuses spread out through the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Sandra started her career working with the migrant community at a Mexican Consulate in southern Arizona, in which she assisted mothers establishing child support through the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, as well as the repatriation of Mexican Nationals and the procurement of personal identifiable documentation. Years later, she worked at the outreach department of a migrant clinic by ensuring the farm workers access to health services.
Descended from farmer grandparents and a teacher father, she graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration, with concentration in International Business by the Sonora State University, in Mexico. She believes that receiving an early childhood education is essential for the healthy development of children and key to success in life, which is why she and her team are committed to the mission of Grow Early Learning and work every day to ensure a better future of the families we serve.
