Hannah Ramirez

Before joining The Uvalde Leader-News, Hannah Psalma Ramirez worked as an education policy intern for POLITICO, where she reported on stories at the intersection of artificial intelligence and immigration. She has also interned and freelanced across several newsrooms in San Diego CA, focusing on investigative and public affairs reporting. In 2025, Ramirez was selected as a Carnegie-Knight News21 fellow, where she contributed to a national reporting project examining how military service members were being targeted by immigration enforcement policies. Born and raised in San Diego, Ramirez is a proud graduate of San Diego State University, where she studied journalism and served as an opinion editor for the university’s student newspaper. When she’s not reporting, Ramirez enjoys exploring local coffee shops and getting lost in a good book, often balancing both at once.
