Sandra Ramirez was raised in Santa Monica, California, next to a Shell gas station that is no longer there. The eldest daughter of Manuela and Gilberto, she rode skateboards and waves, shot hoops and pool, and once skipped a high school class to drive to San Francisco because it was a nice day to do so. In 2007, she received the Emerging Voices Fellowship from PEN Center USA. Her work has appeared in the anthology Strange Cargo.
