My name is Nicole Marie Ramos, and I am proud to formally declare my candidacy for Operations Director for the 2025-2026 FBANC Board. I currently serve as an Associate Attorney at Lepera + Associates, PC, where I specialize in Civil Litigation, Personal Injury, and Employment Law. Beyond my legal career, I am a dedicated powerlifter, a passionate sports enthusiast, and a beach-loving foodie.

Originally from Hawai’i, I have called San Francisco home since attending law school and have been an active and engaged member of FBANC throughout my legal journey. As PALS Co-President at the University of San Francisco School of Law, I worked to strengthen connections among Filipinx law students across Northern California. I was also honored to be part of three Komunidads during law school, further deepening my commitment to our legal and cultural community.

If elected as Co-Operations Director, I will bring my experience, dedication, and organizational skills to support the FBANC Board, its initiatives, and the broader community. I am committed to ensuring that members have access to up-to-date information, resources, and opportunities that FBANC offers. Additionally, I am eager to foster meaningful professional relationships between attorneys and law students, continuing FBANC’s mission of mentorship, support, and empowerment.

I am excited for the first opportunity to contribute and to serve our vibrant FBANC community as an attorney to continue my leadership in FBANC from law school.
