Tonya Ellis, M.A.
La Salle 56 Station Manager / Part-time Professor

Tonya is the head of La Salle's educational access cable channel, La Salle 56.

Station manager Tonya Ellis is responsible for La Salle 56's daily operations along with all show production. Having a full-time staff member allows students to concentrate on perfecting skills instead of repairing equipment and programming tapes.

Once a student crewmember herself, Tonya graduated with a B.A. from La Salle's Communication and English departments. After working at an advertising agency for a couple years, she enthusiastically returned to her alma mater as 56's general manager. While rebuilding the station, she also earned her M.A. in Professional Communication.

If she's not editing or working in the studio, Tonya can probably be found in the classroom. She teaches the basics of audio, video, and graphic production to La Salle's undergrads three times a week.

Tonya lives in Bucks County with her husband Pete, her 2-year old son/station mascot Peter, and her dog Molly.
