She also worked weekly with two elementary-school students through Big Brothers Big Sisters Greater Fredericksburg. \u201cI loved volunteering and making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, Ramey is putting her passion for public service to work at the state level, participating in the prestigious Virginia Management Fellows (VMF) program. This initiative, developed by the Commonwealth of Virginia in collaboration with Virginia Tech, offers college graduates the chance to learn about the inner workings of state government and prepare for future management and leadership roles in the public sector, all while earning a paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was drawn to the uniqueness of the VMF program and the firsthand experience this kind of opportunity provides,\u201d said Ramey, who will spend two years rotating through three government agencies in Richmond. \u201cI\u2019m learning how different policies, processes and services impact Virginians on a day-to-day basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an ideal career move for Ramey, who earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in business administration from Mary Washington. She became interested in the subject while attending Culpeper High School, where she took part in an entrepreneurial program, learning how to pitch potential investors and draw up mock business plans. She said, \u201cUMW\u2019s College of Business gave me a great foundation to enter the workforce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/giving.umw.edu\/blog\/2024\/10\/29\/umw-alumna-channels-passion-for-public-service-into-state-fellowship\/\">Giving.umw.edu<\/a>.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the University of Mary Washington, Kristen Ramey \u201917 found a home in UMW\u2019s Community Outreach and Resources (COAR).
