My name is Angelina Ramirez. I am a senior at Dominguez High School enrolled in the Emergency Medical Response pathway. I am honored to serve as a State Officer for SkillsUSA California. I joined SkillsUSA in October 2024 and was chosen as Chapter Vice President in Region 3. I competed in First Aid and CPR and earned a Bronze medal in the regionals and Gold at the State Leadership and Skills Conference, where I was also elected as State Officer. Being a part of this organization has helped me develop skills in leadership, communication, and teamwork, in addition to making long-lasting friendships. Outside of SkillsUSA, I enjoy spending time with my best friend, going to math study groups, and the beach. I hope to pursue a career in the medical field as a medical doctor and specialize in cardiology. I’m excited to represent students across the state, Compton, my school and my family, and help make a positive impact through SkillsUSA! “Work hard now to rest later.”
