Jessica Hernandez, Vice President:
I am the proud parent of Alexandria Morin, NHS Class of ’29, and Isabella Morin, NHS Class of ’25 and University of Rochester Class of ’29. When I’m not working as the Global Head of HR for a technology company, our family enjoys spending time in nature, ice skating, creating art, and singing together around the piano.
I’m passionate about building community and connecting people with opportunities, and I enjoy bringing that same energy to the PTO to help make our children’s high school experience meaningful and inclusive.
Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or concerns, or if you’d like to brainstorm ideas or bring a PTO project to life. niskyhspto@gmail.com
