My name is Ethan Medel, I am from the southwest side of Chicago. I am a part of DePaul’s 2026 graduating class. I am passionate about my family, heritage, and sports. I am a fan of most mainstream sports and love to watch boxing and MMA. I have a background in playing baseball, soccer, and wrestled all four years of high school. I started writing for The DePaulia, DePaul’s newspaper, as a contributing writer at the start of my spring quarter in 2025. My proudest piece is when I was a part of the UFC 319 press and wrote a story about the event.

My Mission Statement
I am a passionate, honest, and hard-working individual. My mission is to write
comprehensible and informational articles about sports. I value cultural importance, honesty, and
fair treatment for all. I am dedicated to sports and telling stories about athletes from underrepresented communities or underappreciated talents from all around the world. I am driven by community building and want to build a healthy community with my journalism where people’s differences and experiences can be appreciated. I hope to educate and interest people with my content.
