Hi, I’m Brooke Hernandez. I’m originally from California, a U.S. Army veteran, and I’ve worked in the dental field since 2009. Throughout my career in healthcare, I’ve seen just how much strength, resilience, and support families need when they’re navigating difficult medical journeys.

I’m an empath by nature, and working closely with patients and their families has only deepened that part of who I am. I’ve witnessed how overwhelming it can be when a child is receiving care, and how much it means for families to feel supported, comforted, and not alone.

Ronald McDonald House Coastal Empire holds a very special place in my heart. When my niece was born with a cleft palate, the RMH in Tampa provided housing for my family during a stressful and emotional time. Knowing my siblings had a safe and welcoming place to stay gave us peace of mind and allowed us to focus on what truly mattered, being there for her.

Because of that experience, giving back to RMH is deeply personal to me. Their mission of providing a home-away-from-home helps families stay together during moments when support matters most.

I’m proud to be part of Southeastern Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, a practice that actively supports this incredible organization, and I’m honored to personally help raise funds through Women of Sole.

If you’re able, I invite you to round up with me and help be a source of comfort, strength, and hope for families who need it most

 Vote for me to be the "Sole Champion" of Wine, Women and Shoes 2026!

The money raised goes back to support children and their families at Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire.
