Juliette Ramírez Corazón

Juliette Ramírez Corazón grew up walking the very different worlds of Baltimore, northern Wisconsin and Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. She earned a BA (Psychology, Sociology) from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN and spent many years in immigrant community health, eventually earning an MPH from UCLA and developing a specialty in cancer education in Oakland, CA.
