Bio:
Greetings Earthlings! My name is Rosa Ramirez (she/her). I was born and raised in Houston, TX. I am a first generation Mexican-American (1st born in the US of A). I am the first in my family (extended + immediate) to attend & graduate college. I will also be the first to earn a Master’s Degree, which is currently in progress. I love going to school & learning new things. If I could be a student forever, I would! My favorite thing in the world is enjoying a movie or some good tunes with my fiancé Jon & our 3 fur-babies; our puppy, Luna Darling, and our feline fellas: Kevin + Monkey. <3
Experience:
I have experience in a pretty wide variety of subjects from my time as an undergraduate, during my graduate studies & in my current role as staff at NVC.
Below are a few highlights of my favorite experiences so far.
