About Me

Hi there— I’m Erika Figueroa, a first generation college student at Cal State Long Beach, majoring in journalism and minoring in film. I currently work as the social media manager for Dig en Español. I’ve also written news articles for the Daily 49er. I have fostered several skills through news writing, media design, and multimedia courses. I am most interested in media design and writing about film and pop culture.

Post-graduation I hope to combine my love for film, pop culture, and journalism to work for a film company or an entertainment publication. I am interested in utilizing my social media, media design, and writing experience in this profession.

In my free time, I love to watch film and television. My favorite season is award season so I love to keep up with all things Oscars year-round. I also enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, spending time with friends and family, and consuming pop culture news.
