Kathryn "Kim" Ramos was born in Brooklyn, NY, to Puerto Rican parents. Her parents struggled to raise her, leading them to choose to place her in foster care. Her foster parents were also Puerto Rican and raised her in a typical Puerto Rican environment with her five foster siblings.
At 10 1/2 years of age, Kathryn went to live with her biological Mother and sister in California. Her biological Mother decided to relocate to Puerto Rico so Kathryn could be closer to her birth father and his Family. Kathryn attended school in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico. While this was much of a culture shock, Kathryn soon adapted and learned the language. She created lifelong friendships that Kathryn considers Family.
Fast forward, Kathryn gave birth to her beautiful daughter Tiffani in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, who later gave Kathryn the joy of her heart, her Grandson Domiyanno. After giving birth, Kathryn headed back to the mainland to raise her daughter and to be closer to her siblings. Kathryn now calls Northern California home. The importance of creating a peaceful space was a priority for Kathryn, and she found her happiness in California.
Kathryn's hobbies include collecting seashells, cooking, walking and meeting new people, and helping those in need. Her two priorities in life are God and her Family. Her daily focus is her health, living a stress-free life, and walking in gratitude.
Kathryn became involved with the Puerto Rican Civic Club, a non-profit, in San Jose, CA, in 1997 after attending countless scholarship fundraising events. Kathryn soon discovered her love for volunteering and has held many positions on the board; Secretary, MC, Editor, and Delegate, as well as Vice President. She is currently the Vice president and Webmaster for Puerto Rican Civic Club.
Kathryn and Club President Maria Acevedo have focused on relief efforts since 2017 after Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Fiona destroyed their beautiful Island of Puerto Rico. The two ladies are also working on creating an after-school tutoring program for underprivileged children within their community through the Puerto Rican Civic Club.
