Matthew Echavez, Managing Editor
Matthew Echavez is the Spring 2025 Managing Editor at The Rampage for his final semester at Fresno City College. He is a journalism major from Fresno, though this was not his first career choice. For the longest time, Matthew juggled with various interests. His lack of direction led nowhere to a solid idea of what he wanted to do. From history to video games and sports, he developed all sorts of fads and enjoyments, but not truly anything he could see himself make a career in.
This changed when he started in amateur writing. Matthew’s interest in expressing himself better and talking about topics that came to mind allowed him to realize his enjoyment of writing. He took an interest in researching and attempting to convey stories. Though relatively short, this stint nurtured an online audience that encouraged him to continue the self-expression journey.
Further involvement in writing would mature with Matthew’s interests in social commentary. He has held many feelings about the world around him. Despite some initial reservations about journalism due to its implausibility as a career, he took the chance after some encouragement. In the future, Matthew would like to work independently as a freelancer, become a columnist, and or travel the world on assignment.
Matthew enjoys playing video games and spending time with his friends in his spare time. He has begun to explore fashion and develop a sense of style. He has also taken to photography as a hobby and an addition to his skill set.
