Rei Tedoco

Fulbright University of Birmingham Summer Institute - British Cultural Heritage

Rei Tedoco is a sophomore at Arizona State University studying journalism and mass communication. Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Rei is a storyteller with a deep love for culture, sports, and community. On campus, she helps lead a culture and sports media network, spotlighting stories that bridge identity and innovation. She also serves as the student body vice president-elect, working closely with students from all backgrounds to expand access to academic, career, and wellness resources.

This summer, Rei is ecstatic to join the British Cultural Heritage program at the University of Birmingham. With an interest in metropolitan life, local businesses, and the intersection of culture and community, she’s excited to explore how journalism operates in the U.K. — especially within the world of sports.

Rei hopes to use this global experience to build a more inclusive and dynamic campus community back in Arizona. She plans to document her time in Birmingham through a journalistic project that captures the city’s lifestyle, values, and voices.
