Since bringing home the Gold and Silver medals at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Laurie Hernandez has gone on to win the coveted Mirrorball trophy on “Dancing with the Stars” Season 23, and her first book titled “I Got This: To Gold and Beyond” chronicling her journey thus far was published in 2017, hitting the New York Times Best Sellers list. In 2018, she released a children’s picture book “She’s Got This”, also a New York Times Best Seller, while serving as KPMG’s Literacy Champion to promote readership as a path to leadership, and Mattel created a Laurie Hernandez “Shero” Barbie to honor her.
She is a second generation American, as her grandparents are from Puerto Rico, making her the first U.S. born Latina to make the U.S. team since 1984. Laurie was also the gymnastics analyst for Peacock and the Olympic Channel for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Additionally, she has done cameos, voiceovers, and co-hosted "American Ninja Warrior Junior."
Acting is one of her biggest passions and she began her studies at NYU in Fall of 2022, pursuing a degree in acting/screenwriting. She travels the country speaking to the next generation about following your dreams and embracing who you are. She is also a fierce advocate for the importance of mental health, partnering with multiple campaigns and initiatives to encourage awareness.
