Naomi Troiano is currently a junior at Green Hope High School after being virtual for over twelve months, and this is her first year being a member of the GH Falcon. Her main hobbies are reading, painting, cooking, running, doing yoga, and going to the gym. Naomi loves going out with friends but also values her alone time. She works at Coldstone Creamery, scooping ice cream while enjoying the company of her laid-back and fun-loving coworkers. Traveling is something she will never get tired of. Naomi’s favorite place she has been to is San Francisco because it has great city life along with being surrounded by some of the most amazing scenery in the country. In fact, she dreams of owning a studio apartment in San Francisco someday. People that know Naomi will describe her as being compassionate, spontaneous, adventurous, creative, and zen. She is frequently seen at coffee shops, her favorite being Crema Coffee. A fun fact about Naomi is that she has been a vegetarian for seven years and has never eaten a fish in her life. Be sure to look for Naomi’s future work at the Green Hope Falcon!
