Amaya Monacelli, Year 2
Amaya Monacelli is a senior and a second year journalism student. Monacelli’s passion for journalism originated with her love for sports communications, but grew very quickly after she was exposed to Trojan Television. Amaya is an outgoing individual with a love for talking to people and spreading news to her peers, so it is no surprise that she is fine with embarrassing herself in front of the student body. Monacelli loves all aspects of the class, however, speaking on camera and “TTV On the Street” is by far her favorite part.
As Amaya goes away to college next year she is planning on minoring in communications and furthering her education at Central Connecticut State University. Her passion for the subject will only push her to grow as an aspiring writer and journalist.
Lily Judge is a senior and first year Journalism student. Lily decided to take the class due to her love of socializing and meeting new people. She also wanted to enhance her writing ability. What drew Lily’s attention the most, was the weekly production of the Trojan Television. She looks forward to watching it every Friday morning, and is excited to get a spin inside the TTV studio herself. With college approaching next year, Lily’s hoping this class boosts her confidence with writing papers, essays, research papers, articles, etc. After Lily’s time at North Pocono, she plans on majoring in communications, with possibly a business or theater minor.
Lily Thomas, Year 1
Lily Thomas is a senior. This is her first year in Journalism and she’s never been more excited. Lily is extremely strong-minded and loves sharing what she thinks. That could be writing about a topic she feels strong about or just being able to share her thoughts. Lily is a very hard worker and has managed to work two jobs at once for the last three years while still exceeding the best of her abilities in school. Lily is a strong, verbal, positive young woman. She is always up to talk to anyone and everyone when she gets the chance.
With finally getting to graduate and moving on to bigger and better things, she will be attending college. She is still unsure of where, but knows that she wants to do something with children whether that’s being a teacher or child welfare social worker. She is looking forward to her senior year and getting the chance to grow and get ready to start big moves.
Ethan Schield, Year 1
Ethan Schield is a senior journalism student. He also has a YouTube channel, FIreLynx, showcasing his works. His channel features both filming and editing videos along with some broadcasting content.
Ethan’s love for motorsports, railroading, and commentating has pushed him to be his very best. He works hard to one day pursue a career in broadcasting motor racing, such as NASCAR and IndyCar, and he would like to attend college for sports/broadcast journalism to achieve said dream.
Schield has amassed over five-thousand subscribers on YouTube, with nearly two-million lifetime views. He spends hours each day perfecting his stop-motion NASCAR races by filming each race, editing graphics, and adding voiceover to make each race seem like a real broadcast. His train related videos require near perfection, as he only gets one chance to get each shot right. These videos have, at times, surpassed fifty-thousand views.
On top of YouTube, Schield is also a long-distance track athlete for the North Pocono Trojans. He has been a part of both the cross country and track teams since his first year of eligibility in seventh grade. Ethan specializes in the 1,600 and 800 meter events.
