About the Contributors
Julia Kennedy, Year 2
Julia Kennedy is a second-year journalism student at North Pocono. She joined the class for the writing, but quickly became enthusiastic about the film aspect as well. She enjoys every part of the class, but is especially interested in interviewing others and forming better relationships through her efforts. Along with that, she isn't one to shy away from making fun of herself on camera- so long as the same won’t happen in person. She is proud of her more recent contributions to Trojan TV, and how she’s opened up to new opportunities presented to her.
Though she considers herself a quiet person, Julia is always open to conversation and learning more about those around her and the stories they have to share.
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.
Max Malec, Year 3
Max Malec is a Trojan T.V. anchor and a Trojan Voice Newspaper staff writer, with experience in and a deep love for sports and sports journalism. Max’s background consists of various camps including the Penn State Donald P. Bellisario Broadcast Journalism Summer Camp and The Washington Journalism and Media Conference hosted by George Mason University. Through these experiences, he has been able to strengthen his knowledge in the areas of physical and digital media and journalism. Max’s deep passion for sports and sports journalism is what keeps him driven to accomplish some of the highest goals in the business. These goals consist of being an analyst of ESPN’s CollegeGameday and being a play-by-play announcer for any of the major networks. In addition, Max has an interest in constantly learning more about the field of journalism as a whole and how he can make himself, as well as those around him, better.
Max is a firm believer in the concept of hard work beats talent and everything that success is earned, not given. While Max has no shortage of talent, his constant desire to be better and improve those around him make him successful.
Emma Hollenbeck, Year 2
Emma Hollenbeck is an eleventh grade student whose passion is writing and expressing her creativity. Emma’s interests led her to join the journalism program at her high school, where she has written many articles and appears on the weekly school news broadcast Trojan TV. What she loves most about journalism is working together with a group to create incredible projects. Emma considers herself a talented writer, and she enjoys coming up with article topics that people will be interested to read about. Her favorite articles she has written are titled “Creating worlds from words” and “A week of awareness.”
Currently in her junior year of high school, Emma believes she has improved in journalism since her first year of taking the class. She has learned many skills in editing and filming for class projects. Also, Emma has met new people with whom she enjoys working in the school studio. She believes that if someone follows his/her passion, it will not be regretted.
Emma joined journalism in the first place because of her interest in the writing field, and she even enjoys writing stories of her own. Emma plans on continuing journalism for her senior year of high school, and she hopes to make new friendships along the way.
Mia Summa, Year 2
Mia Summa is a junior and second year Journalism student. Summa joined the class for the interest of doing the Friday morning show called Trojan Television. With her love for sports and talking to people, Summa felt this class was the best option. Mia was never a great writer until she took the class and got so much better. She enjoys being in the class but a special thing is of the friendships she's made. Summa seems to have an even bigger voice than before, and more confidence about herself. By far she loves making Trojan Television but overall Mia loves writing a good article. As Summa has a crazy junior year, she plans to major in Special Education and a minor in communications.
