My name is Luis Miguel Ramirez. I was born in the Rio Grande Valley and raised in Mission, Texas. As a child, catching the news before school was always routine and made me become interested in what events were happening in the world. Writing was always a strength of mine and I aspired to become a journalist. In high school, I was active as a reporter and competed in the 2006 State Skills USA News Anchor competition. This experienced helped fuel my desire in become a journalist. I was later admitted into the University of Texas at Austin where I am now majoring in Broadcast Journalism. I will be interning at KXAN- the CW Austin this summer and am looking forward to finding out the ins and outs of being a reporter.
