https://padlet.com/hernandezjoanna1988/fc4eysd05y6e6o1a My name is Joanna Hernandez preferred pronouns are she,her,hers,ella. I am both equally excited and nervous about starting this journey as an MPA graduate student while working full time and being a mom. I added a picture of my family. I am a mother to a two year old boy who is the main reason I am doing this. I want to get my MPA to help serve under developed communities that many times get overlooked and are very under represented. en-us 2021-01-20 02:16:59 UTC 2024-12-02 02:55:43 UTC hello@padlet.com hernandezjoanna1988 https://padlet.com/hernandezjoanna1988/fc4eysd05y6e6o1a/wish/1103942049 My family is very into charriadas which is a traditional Mexican rodeo. I am first generation Mexican-American and it is very important to me that my son learn about his heritage and what makes our cultural so rich and beautiful. ]]> 2021-01-20 02:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hernandezjoanna1988/fc4eysd05y6e6o1a/wish/1103942049 hernandezjoanna1988 https://padlet.com/hernandezjoanna1988/fc4eysd05y6e6o1a/wish/1103945202 I am very passionate about social justice and most often we see the injustice happening in the urban communities. ]]> 2021-01-20 02:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hernandezjoanna1988/fc4eysd05y6e6o1a/wish/1103945202 hernandezjoanna1988 https://padlet.com/hernandezjoanna1988/fc4eysd05y6e6o1a/wish/1103947931 My main goal in why I want to obtain this MPA is to work with underdeveloped communities to equip them with the tools necessary to grow and thrive.
