Emily Tester, Writer, Social Media Manager
Hello! My name is Emily Tester and I am the managing editor of The Central Times for the 2024-2025 school year. I am a junior and this is my second year on the staff. Not only did I have the chance to join the staff my sophomore year but I get to continue to be a part of it. I’m excited to see what’s in store for the upcoming months!
Being on the staff last year opened my eyes to the beauty of journalism. Growing up, I had always liked English class. I loved to read (and still do) and make up stories and journal about anything and everything. When I entered middle school I started honors English class. In my eighth grade year, I discovered my talent and enjoyment in writing.
Entering freshman year, I made a promise to myself that I would put my writing skills to good use and joined The Central Times. This decision has brought many lights to my life. Not only do I get to write, but I’ve met so many great people along the way. It wouldn’t have been the same without the 2023-2024 Central Time staff.
I am also active in FBLA where I am the Region 3 Reporter, Beta Club, Pep Club, and have been working since I turned 15 years old. I love to be active and hope to join and do many more things this year.
I hope you enjoy my articles as much as I enjoy writing them!
