Student Leader Spotlight: Gabriella Ramirez MIA ’25

Gabriella came to SIPA after recently graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Drew University. A New Jersey native, Gabriella grew up coming to the city frequently and knew she wanted to one day take advantage of the opportunities it offered. Being raised by immigrant parents significantly shaped her perception of the world and she chose SIPA so she can pursue a career in policy development that advocates for historically marginalized communities.
