Personal
Hernández was born on July 17, 1995, in Xi'an, China.[1] Because of issues during fetal development, she is missing four fingers on her left hand.[1] She was adopted in 1997, and has two biological brothers and a sister who were also adopted.[1] In 2012, she attended Athena College in Extremadura.[1] She is from Mérida, Extremadura.[2] In December 2013, she attended an event marking Spanish insurance company Santa Lucía Seguros becoming a sponsor of the Spanish Paralympic Committee, and consequently Plan ADOP which funds high performance Spanish disability sport competitors. She chose to attend the event because she wanted to show support for this type of sponsorship.[3]

Hernández is an S10 classified swimmer.[4] She is a member of the Escuelas Deportivas Mérida swim club.[2][5] She started swimming when she was eight years old.[1] She competes against able bodied swimmers and against other swimmers in her classification with disabilities.[1] Her swimming is supported financially by Spain's Plan ADO.[1]
