Ramirez

I moved here from San Diego in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, while looking for a lower cost of living and a new career. At the time there was very little for me to do, but I grew to love the FM community more and more as the pandemic lifted and I got out into the community. I found that new career in Non Profit work, but I have even gotten my feet wet in the theatre/film community as well which has linked me to my roots.

Besides my work as a Job Counselor at Rural MN CEP, I am proud to be a volunteer as an English Language Tutor for Moorhead Adult Basic Education. I also am heavily involved in my church community as a Youth Leader, singer, and other ministries. I am involved in the Deaf community and Mental Health community as an advocate, and love working with kids with disabilities specifically.

I LOVE to watercolor and paint. I also love to antique and shop, drink tea, sew a bit, sing, and see/participate in theatre.

On a free day, I would go to a coffee shop or somewhere scenic to paint, hang out with friends over dinner or games, see a theatre show, and definitely stop somewhere in my day to pray.
