Meet us, the lovely KRCX staff! Or as everyone calls us, “The Stu’ Crew”

(No one *actually* calls us that, but they totally should!)

Ema Higgins - Co-Manager

Hi! I’m Ema Higgins and I’m from Columbia, MO. I’m a senior majoring in marketing and hope to get a job one day in social media marketing or advertising. I love working out and shopping in my free time. My favorite artists are Mac Miller, Stevie Wonder, SZA, Steve Lacy, and Michael Jackson (to name a few). Follow me on Instagram @emahiggins!

Magdalena Tapia - Co-Manager

Yo, what's crackalackin. My name is Magdalena and I'm from the one and only East LA (kinda). I'm a third-year, first-gen student majoring in philosophy, minoring in psychology, and specializing in first-gen life. My music taste varies greatly; some of my favorite genres are rap, latin trap, EDM (all of it), classic rock, and dancehall. My liked songs playlist on Spotify is quite the mix. I love photography, baseball, and of course, music. Be strange but don't be a stranger ;)

Alexander Menard

Hello peeps, to introduce myself my name is Alexander. I'm from Dallas, Texas, yee-haw! In my free time, I'm longboarding or hiking to take a break from my busy school life. My goal as a team member of KRCX is to give every music taste a chance and not discard based on my own personal taste. 

Christina Papadakos

Heyyy! I’m Christina :) I’m a senior with a psychology major and a minor in women & gender studies. I’m from southern Connecticut. My top 3 artists are Fleetwood Mac, Mac Miller, Amy Winehouse. My favorite genres of music are rock, R&B, rap, and alternative, but I pretty much like it all!

 

Welcome our new staff members for the ‘24-'25 year! The New Stu’ Crew, if you will ;)

Chris Rodriguez

Hey! I’m Chris. I’m from Thornton, Colorado. In my free time I like to hang out with friends, watch movies, and I’ve recently started learning how to play guitar. I like to listen to a variety of music but my top genre is pop punk. My favorite artists at the moment are All Time Low, poptropicaslutz!, and Sueco. I look forward to expanding my music taste and finding new artists while working with KRCX.

Johnny Estrada

Wusgood, My name is Johnny Estrada, and I’m from H-Town (where ITS LIT). I'm striving for a marketing degree to bring my ideas to life and to become a creative director. My top artists to listen to are Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar, but I LOVE to dive into many genres other than Hip-Hop/Rap like Alternative and Phsycadelic Trap. Current artists I’m checking out are Jean Dawson and JPEGMAFIA.
