Teacher Spotlight — Meet Emma Hernandez

Welcome to Special Education!
Hello! I am one of the special education teachers at Wasatch and I love teaching! I graduated from BYU in 2022 with a degree in Special Ed. I am from Cottage Grove, Oregon which is a beautiful little town nestled in the valley of green tree covered mountains and surrounded by 2 beautiful lakes and a river. I grew up kayaking, hiking, and swimming. I love being here in Utah with my husband and dog, and
can’t wait to see what this school year holds for me and my students!
