Jonathan Guajardo

Jonathan Guajardo wants to work to create a world where people feel free to make stuff, take risks, and be awesome!

He is an Assistant Professor of the Practice in the Department of Communication and Journalism and is originally from San Antonio, Texas. He has taught at Texas A&M for 6 years and serves as the Co-Director of the Creative Media Lab, the Course Director for COMM 275: Intro to Social Media, and the faculty advisor for three student organizations: the TAMU Speech and Debate Team, A-Line Magazine, and SAIL Sophomore Leadership Organization. Additionally, he is a Higher Education Administration doctoral candidate at Texas Tech University where his research explores utilizing digital communicative technologies to build a stronger sense of belonging between online students and their institutions of higher learning.

When Jonathan is not teaching or researching, you can find him running one of his three companies: a media production company called GA Media and two hyper-local online news publications, the San Antonio Sentinel and the Bryan-College Station Chronicle. He also enjoys spending time with his friends and family, attending Aggie sporting events with his wife, Areeba, playing chess with his students, gaming, reading, golfing, and listening to his extensive record collection on his HiFi system. Additionally, he loves to grill and holds end-of-the-year barbecues for the students in his classes, so be sure to drop by and see him towards the end of the semester if you want some free barbecue!
