Maggie Ramirez: Back in ABQ

MaggieRamirezLoRes Multiple winner of the Albuquerque City Women’s Championship Maggie Ramirez, 25, is back in Albuquerque, working for Sam and Wright Zimmerly, concessionaires at Ladera Golf Course.

“It’s like going home to family,” Ramirez, 25, said of her part-time work as a teacher at the West Side golf course. Ramirez is a “non-amateur,” meaning, she’s turned professional but has not affiliated with the PGA of America.

Ramirez also is working with the Sawmill Advisory Council, a non-profit dedicated to providing educational programs for children and adults in that Albuquerque inner-city neighborhood.

Ramirez graduated from New Mexico State University in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in government and followed that up with a master’s in public administration.

She graduated from Valley High School in 2002. At NMSU, she was a standout with NMSU’s Aggie golf team. As a teacher at Ladera Ramirez is mostly teaching children and women. “I like working with kids,” Ramirez said.

In that regard, she’s not far from the career track mapped out by January Romero, against whom Ramirez competed as a prep player. For an update on Romero, click here.
