Anthony Mondelli

Anthony Mondelli, Chief Copy Editor

My name is Anthony Mondelli, this is my second year on the Lamplighter staff. I wouldn’t want to spend my senior year any other way.

This year I’m taking on the role of being a Copy Editor. I absolutely love writing and editing, so what could be better. I love writing opinion pieces, especially when they involve political issues.

Being apart of Lamplighter has taught me so much I never knew I wanted to learn. My goals for this year include making every article published the best it can be, as well as making writers out of anyone with a passion for it.

Joining Lamplighter has led me to discover my love for journalism so much so I plan on majoring in journalism in college. I hope to one day be a prominent journalist reporting on everyday issues and informing people about what’s happening in their communities.
