About the Contributors
Patrick Ready, Advanced Broadcasting Lab
I am currently a senior at Marist. I have been involved with Marist broadcasting for 3 years, taking Broadcasting 1 and 2, as well as the Advanced Lab course. Last year, I also worked as one of the analysts in the sports segment of our MHS Studio Magazine show. Besides broadcasting, here at Marist I play on the Varsity Golf team, and am in the Investment Club. Outside of school, I like to play golf, watch sports, and hangout with friends. After Marist, I plan on attending either UW Madison or Indiana University majoring in business.
George Kottaras, Broadcasting 1
I am a senior here at Marist High School. I am the head manager on our Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, and Varsity Baseball teams, the PA Announcer for a large amount of the sports here at Marist, a member of the Student Council, National Honors Society, and a Student Ambassador Officer. I am enrolled in both our journalism and broadcasting classes. I love music, sports, and hanging with friends. After high school, I plan on attending Butler University in Indianapolis majoring in sports media, and then either working as a sports reporter or as a sports announcer.
Phillip Bartolini, Broadcasting 2
I’m a junior at Marist and have been involved in Broadcasting for a few years in the class and club. Freshman year I took Broadcasting 1 and now junior year I am taking Broadcasting 2. I also contribute regularly to MHS Studio Magazine with the sports segment through Broadcasting Club. Some of the things I enjoy doing outside of school are golfing, watching baseball, and hanging out with friends. I am very interested in studying business in college, but I have not decided where to attend yet.
Molly Haynes, Broadcasting 1
I am a junior at Marist High School and I am currently in Broadcasting 1, although I have been active in the Broadcasting CBrlub since freshman year. I am on the varsity tennis team playing 1st doubles, and I also do track and field, running the 200 meter and doing long and triple jump. I am also involved in Model UN club and student ambassadors here at Marist. In my free time, I enjoy riding my bike, reading, and doing puzzles. After high school I plan to major in Education and/or Communication, either becoming an elementary school teacher or a news anchor.
Erin Trapani, Broadcasting 2
I am currently a junior here at Marist High School. This is my third year contributing to MHS Media through our club, Broadcasting 1 and now Broadcasting 2. I have done photo journalism classes, script writing, and on-camera courses at DePaul University with professionals such as Carol Marin, Lisa Parker, and Chuck Goudie. I hope to double major in Broadcast Journalism and get my BA in Musical Arts. In my spare time, I enjoy theater, vocal performance, and playing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music on the piano.
Melanie Koss, Broadcasting 1
I’m a sophomore at Marist, currently taking Broadcasting 1. The clubs I have joined at Marist since freshman year are Broadcasting, Cooking, Art, and Chess Club. I also joined Student Ambassadors this year. I was on the freshman lacrosse team last year and plan to play on the JV team this year. I was a midfield player and I’ve been playing for around two years. When I’m not in lacrosse season, I play club lacrosse at Lakeshore two times a week.
Connor Norris, Broadcasting 1
I am a freshman here at Marist High School. I am in Broadcasting 1 and I am excited to see where this takes me. I love going out and talking to people and volunteering when I can. I am involved in Scouting America and working on my eagle rank. I love camping, hiking and even just being outside. I am big into nature photography and history. I love horror movies and documentaries. Also, I love rock music like System of a Down and Lincoln Park.
Vinny Quiroz, Broadcasting 2
I am a junior in my second year of broadcasting and fourth year in the media program, including two years of journalism. Outside of school, I play and enjoy watching baseball. My favorite teams are the Bears and Cubs. I am unsure what my plans are after Marist but plan to go to college.
Ronan Carmody, Broadcasting 2
I’m a senior here at Marist High School and after the school day I go to football practice for the Sophomores because I’m one of the managers for them. I also do Broadcasting Club because I think it’s really fun. I’m interested in a ton of pop culture franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, Power Rangers, and DC Comics. I’m taking this class because I aspire to be a filmmaker/actor. I have a huge love for movies and TV shows. Some of my favorites include Top Gun Maverick, Superman, Cars, and many more! My plan for the future is to go to DePaul University in Chicago and study filmmaking and acting because that’s my dream. A piece of advice I have for anyone reading this is that you should follow your own dream and make the best out of your life no matter the cost. Here’s a quote from a character that I look up to: “Your future hasn’t been written yet. No one’s has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, all of you.” -Doc Brown from Back to the Future.
