2024 DET Writing Program – Jaleese Ramos

Congratulations to 2024 Disney Program Writer, Jaleese Ramos, who has staffed on an unannounced Hulu/20th series! A second-generation Mexican-American drama writer, Jaleese grew up in the Central Valley of California surrounded by almond orchards and dairy farms. Her work is influenced by her sometimes messy, always loud, Mexican family. Her storytelling explores identity, family lineage, and the lasting impact of time and unresolved trauma on characters who are desperate to do the right thing but struggle to find the way. Prior to the program, Jaleese was the Showrunner’s Assistant on NBC’s LOPEZ V. LOPEZ and worked at 3 Arts. Kudos, Jaleese!
