Hello! My name is Alex O’Looney, and I’m a senior at GNA. I have lived in Nanticoke since 2018 after moving from Ireland. I am a multi-sport athlete, I play soccer, cross-country, swim, and track. I also hold a position in the Key Club. Along with school and sports, I am a volunteer firefighter with the Nanticoke Fire Department. I have spent the last 2 and a half years training with the fire department. When I’m not doing training I am usually waiting for a fire call. In my free time, I typically watch sports, hang out with friends, and think about Ryan Reynolds. After High School, I am going down to Fort Moore, Georgia to attend training for the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. After spending 22 weeks down there, I plan on going to either Kings College or Misericordia University to study criminal justice. I also hope to go into the Pennsylvania State Police.

My name is Olivia Monska and I am in my Senior year at GNA. I have gone to Nanticoke my entire life. This is my first year in Journalism and I can’t wait to help foster people’s ability to feel empowered by reading stories! I’m incredibly passionate about all things art and am even a part of GNA’s very own Art Club, as well as a member of the school’s Chorus and Key Club! I’m a huge nerd when it comes to things like video games and comics. I’m passionate about indie games and niche communities surrounding obscure and “lost” media. My favorite TV show is Community on Netflix and my favorite bands are a toss-up between Muse and Måneskin! I’m going to major in Fine Arts with a focus on illustration once I graduate high school. My plan is to eventually join a publishing agency. I hope to inspire a new generation of artists the same way cartoonists I read as a child influenced me to pursue art, in addition to moving somewhere in Europe after I’ve finished college.
