Hello! My name is Arissa Ramiez and I am currently a senior at Loretto Academy. 

I have attended Loretto Academy for four years and prior I attended St. Pius X for nine years.

Although writing will forever be a part of me, as I enter the next stage of my life I plan to attend and graduate nursing school and one day own a medical spa. 

I am looking forward to spending my final year at Loretto as a part of The Prax team with such amazing women and future leaders.
