Ramirez, who brings with her a background as a Realtor at JB Goodwin REALTORS, will serve on the committee through January 31, 2029, shaping the research studies conducted by the Texas A&M University System's Real Estate Center.
Jessie Ramirez, hailing from Bulverde, has been actively engaged in the real estate industry and carries experience from various leadership roles; notably, she has served as the Chair of the Kyle Library Board and is currently the San Antonio chapter Chair of the Liberty Leadership Council.
