"In 2011, after seven years reporting and anchoring in Los Angeles, I was offered an opportunity to come out to Houston," Hernandez wrote. "While I have family in El Paso, I didn’t know a soul in H-Town. I took a leap of faith — and thank goodness I did.
"It was here that I discovered the incredible diversity of Houston and the warmth and resilience of this great city. It was also the place where I met my husband and started a family. We now have two little girls we absolutely adore and we’re happy to be raising them in the Lone Star State."
While Hernandez might be no stranger to Houston television, as a new KPRC anchor, she'll learn the new experience of what it's like to anchor next to a TV news TikTok star, Owen Conflenti!
