She reports across all ABC News platforms, including GMA, World News Tonight, ABC News Live, Nightline, and 20/20. She also regularly fills in as an anchor for Weekend GMA, ABC News Live, and Nightline. Ramos started with ABC as a multi-platform reporter based in Washington, D.C., and served as a Pentagon reporter as well.

Prior to ABC, Ramos reported for local stations in Kansas City, MO; Topeka, KS; and Columbia, SC where she established herself as a tenacious reporter covering important issues such as immigration, politics, and crime.

Ramos is a U.S. Army Reserve Major with years of service experience that has been valuable to ABC’s reporting and understanding of conflicts around the world. In 2008 she was a 1st Lieutenant in Iraq, receiving multiple medals for her honorable service including the Meritorious Service Medal. When she returned, she and her husband produced the award-winning special, To Baghdad & Back, using footage she captured on a small handheld camcorder throughout her tour.
