Corban Grad Jerusalen Jimenez-Ramon Helps Her Community Find Its Voice

When Jerusalen Jimenez- Ramon graduated from Corban in May 2025, she stepped into the professional world equipped with confidence, technical skill, and a clear mission. Today she runs her own media business, J.FUSION Media, offering photography, videography, web development, and content creation for small businesses—especially those within her Hispanic community. Recently, she was recognized by Oregon Small Business Development Center for her work, chosen from a wide pool of individuals.

For Jerusalen, reaching this point feels extraordinary. “It’s a miracle to be where I am today,” she said. “It’s all because of God, and because of Corban. I’m grateful for a community that really values and gives opportunities and a voice to people like me. I didn’t do it by myself.”

Her passion for media began in childhood, but Corban gave her the hands-on training she needed to turn that passion into a profession. “I was able to work across a variety of media, and that’s where I gained my real experience,” she said.

But her growth at Corban reached far beyond technical training. As a self-described shy student, she credits Corban and professors like Naomi Yanike for helping her find her voice. “Corban really did challenge me mentally and spiritually,” she said. “Little things, like writing a 10-page paper or giving a presentation in front of 20 people, shaped me into who I am now. Now I’m talking with professionals on a daily basis, and I have courage and confidence because of those moments.”

That confidence fuels her passion to serve those who often struggle to express themselves. “It’s rewarding to help people who need support, especially my Latino community,” she said. “As a bilingual person, I can help my community express their brands and businesses to the community at large. Helping them fuse their story into the world is incredibly rewarding. Everything I do, my hard work, my achievements, is for them too.”
