FEATURING UH MĀNOA ALUMNUS:

Joey Ramirez

Growing up, Joey Ramirez always knew he wanted to work in sports. Coupled with a passion for writing and journalism, Joey pursued a degree in Communication and worked on-campus at the student newspaper, Ka Leo O Hawaiʻi, covering various aspects of athletics – from basketball to football, on-camera and radio. Now a digital reporter for the Los Angeles Lakers, Joey looks back at his time at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and credits landing his dream job to the experiences he had as a Rainbow Warrior.

“I love everything about what I do. I put in a lot of work, and long hours, but I never feel like I’m working. Everyday is something new and exciting; I watch every single Lakers game in person, talk to players in person. I can’t ask for anything more.”
