Hi! My name is Ethan (he/him), and I'm a Media and Journalism (M.A.) graduate student at Kent State University. My research interests draw from my experience as a media practitioner and focus on human-computer interaction, media perceptions, and cognition. My in-progress master’s thesis investigates how people perceive the credibility of online news and the factors that influence their decision-making processes.

I also completed my undergraduate studies at Kent State, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media Production and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing.
