Career

Though early in her youth she was involved with U.S. youth national team programs, she later opted to represent Mexico at senior level, leveraging her Mexican heritage.

She made her senior debut on October 10, 2022, in a friendly versus Chile.

She was part of the Mexico squad at the 2023 Pan American Games, where Mexico won the gold medal. Hernández started all five matches in the tournament. In the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup she scored her first international goal during an 8–0 victory over the Dominican Republic. She also received a red card in the semifinal match versus Brazil after a VAR review.
