Ethan Rodriguez

Hi there, my name is Ethan Rodriguez and I’m a senior here at Arcadia University. I major in Media and Communications, with a concentration in Multimedia Publishing, so I’m familiar with all mediums of journalism content. Alongside that, I’m Co-Editor-in-Chief of Arcadia’s on-campus lifestyle magazine, Loco Mag, and I’m a blogger for Arcadia University’s “Because  Arcadia” blog. 

When I’m not contributing to Arcadia’s campus, I’m a part-time media educator at Temple University’s University Community Collaborative (UCC) where I teach teenagers media production and media literacy. Recently, I started a new internship at WHYY, as an assistant-educator under their education department. They run a similar media program for middle school students and teens, and I help support their production projects throughout the spring semester. 

I put a lot of my own free time towards my career, as it gives me a sense of purpose. Whether I’m creating my own media content or supporting the media content produced by students, I love what I do. Though, aside from my jobs, I enjoy coloring, eating soup dumplings, and rewatching old Disney shows.
