Ramon Dompor
I'm a visual journalist based in Seattle, Washington. My work focuses on character-driven stories that highlight social and environmental issues around the Pacific Northwest.
Previously, I worked as a staff video journalist at The Seattle Times, a youth filmmaking educator, and served as the Seattle Chapter President of the Asian American Journalists Association.
I am an FAA Part-107 licensed drone pilot and received emergency first aid and CPR training. Contact me to ask about additional safety and professional certifications.
