Experience

With a decade of experience as a television news reporter, Jasmine Ramirez has delivered thousands of live reports — from the front lines of wildfires and monsoons to tornado-ravaged towns. Her journalism career has taken her across the country, and her work has been featured on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, and MSNBC. She's worked as a freelance writer for travel, hospitality tech and real estate companies around the world. Now based in Southern California, she channels her love for storytelling into travel writing, driven by a deep curiosity to see the world through others' eyes and understand the stories behind each destination. One of her favorite quotes: "Travel far enough, you meet yourself."

Education

Jasmine studied broadcast journalism at the University of Missouri, the world's first journalism school, where she learned to chase stories with urgency, purpose, and heart. It's where she found her voice as a storyteller driven by curiosity, clarity, and a deep desire to make people feel something.
