Show Producers
Julianna Sawma My name is Julianna and I am a Show Producer of ETalk! I've been in ETalk since I was a freshman where I was terribly awkward on camera and then worked audio for the next two years. I am a Strategic Communications major and I studied in Copenhagen last spring where I was very cold for most of the time but it is a city I am absolutely in love with.

I also enjoy rewatching Parks and Recreation, convincing others that Red Robin is a chain to be reckoned with and bopping to Ariana Grande, a queen among us all. Associate Producers Cristi Fadel Hey everyone! My name is Cristi and I am an Associate Producer here at ETalk. I started out as a freshman and worked my way up the ladder. As a true ETalker, I love discussing all things pop-culture...the only news I track is entertainment news so that says it all. Aside from Etalk, you can catch me cooking up a yummy dish, watching reality TV, or attempting to play the piano. A fun fact about me: I am a Venezuelan native, so I am looking forward to doing ETalk en Español again this year! I am a Senior here at Elon, so I've had my fair share of amazing career experiences, including interning at Viacom in Miami and later a production company at Walt Disney Studios in L.A. After graduation, I plan on living my best life out on the West Coast, fulfilling my aspirations of working in the entertainment industry. Shannon Driscoll My name is Shannon Driscoll and I am a first-year Cinema and Television Arts major and French minor. My hometown is Jacksonville, Florida, and I love to cheer on the Jaguars from afar. I enjoy watching new television shows and movies and I hope to work in Television Production later in life. I also love working with everyone on ETalk! Editor Lauren Shur Hi guys! I’m Lauren and I am one of the editors for ETalk! I am a freshman at Elon and a Strategic Communications major. I am thinking about double minoring in Sports Management and Professional Sales. Unlike most Elon students, I am from the south; specifically, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. Besides ETalk, I am also involved in another ESTV show (in which I do PR) and I also help the Marketing Director of ESTV with social media posts. You can also find me at Bagel Brunches at Hillel or hanging with my Sigma Kappa sisters. My dream job would be to run social media for Ellen Degeneres. Three things I love are The Bachelor, Duke Basketball, and chicken nuggets. Line Producer Carly Thomas I’m Carly Thomas, ETalk’s Line Producer. I am currently a Junior at Elon. My aspiring major is Broadcast Journalism with a minor in Music Production and Recording Arts. My interests are entertainment news, music, and graphic design. My plan for the future is to continue with broadcast journalism and focus more on entertainment and lifestyle. I love being ETalk’s Line Producer because I enjoy being hands on in the creative process, especially since it has to do with entertainment. Package Content Producer Brian Hello, I’m Brian, a package content producer for ETalk. I am also involved with Cinelon and Elon Tonight. I’m from Spartanburg, South Carolina which is suprising as I know more people from New York than South Carolina here at Elon. One cool fact about me is that I am one huge movie and food lover. Graphics Designer Junie Vargas My name is Junie Vargas and I’m a first-year student interested in double-majoring in Strategic Communications and Psychology. I’m happy to say that my home is in Managua, Nicaragua, which has provided me with such great experiences and a different perspective on the world. Here at ETalk, I currently hold the position of Graphics Designer and I cannot wait to see where else this program will take me. |
