Amanda Hernandez became an assistant principal at 24 years old in the middle of a global pandemic.
The FIU early childhood development alumna works at the Ann Storck Center, a Fort Lauderdale nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults with special needs and developmental disabilities. She oversees all of the educational programs, including the newly opened kindergarten that’s part of the Ann Storck Center Private School.
Hernandez stepped into her new role in July which would have been challenging enough in normal circumstances. She quickly learned to navigate an entirely new educational world no one has ever navigated before.
