About the Contributors
Brooke Reed, Student Writer
My name is Brooke Reed, and I’m a junior here at GNA and president of Art Club. This is my first year of journalism, and I am excited to try something new!
Over the summer, I participated in a psychology mentorship program at Wilkes University while enrolled in Upward Bound. Outside of school, I enjoy various hobbies including painting, drawing, playing bass guitar, and watching crime documentaries.
In the future, I would like to attend college and pursue the study of psychology and criminology. Since I was younger, my mom would binge-watch Law and Order, and that has influenced my passion for this major. As for the school year and my future, I’m excited to see what life brings me!
Amaya Zegarski, Student Writer
My name is Amaya Zegarski, and I am a sophomore here at Greater Nanticoke Area. This is my first year taking Journalism. Currently, I am the Sophomore Vice President for the 2025-2026 school year. I’m involved in many other extracurricular activities within our campus, such as Key Club, Student Council, and chorus. I have also been actively participating in the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) competition since I was in 8th grade.
I’ve lived in Nanticoke my whole life, and I’ve been attending GNA since kindergarten. Outside of school, I’m a HUGE Swiftie. I spend most of my time listening to Taylor’s music and constantly making friendship bracelets to share with other Swifties I come across out in the wild. My absolute favorite Taylor Swift song is “tolerate it” from her ninth studio album, evermore. There have even been multiple occasions where I find myself buying her merch during my lunchtime. If it were up to me, I’d consider that a full-time job. I may sing every Taylor Swift lyric, and she may be my entire personality, but I have many other things that I am obsessed with. I’ve loved cats ever since I was a kid. I actually have one cat named Roscoe. They’ve always been special animals to me. This year, I plan to volunteer at the SPCA part-time. I’m also a huge fan of the Broadway musical Hamilton. It is my favorite Broadway musical of all-time. My biggest passion right now is sports, especially football. My favorite sports team is the Philadelphia Eagles. When I graduate from high school, I plan to go to college at Penn State University and continue to pursue a major in Communications/Sports Journalism. Being an avid Eagles fan, my dream career is to work for the Philadelphia Eagles media team.
