Justine Ramos is a first-generation Pilipinx immigrant who holds a Bachelor's degree in English and global health from UCLA and a Doctoral degree in occupational therapy at Tufts University. She is interested in a plethora of things, but most especially the intersection of creativity and rehabilitative medicine. To quote one of her college professors, she is "intellectually engaging, empathetic, and genuinely funny, though occasionally snarky and unapologetically blunt." Justine has performed, competed, and judged in the Slam Poetry/Spoken Word world throughout high school and college. She has coached her own slam team, mentored young poets, founded UCLA's only slam poetry organization, and won awards with the LA Youth Poet Laureate Program. She's been published with WriteGirl, Teen Ink Literary Magazine, and Cornell University's literary magazine, Rainy Day.
