Bio
Melissa Gasia
Emily started as a staff writer at Campus Times during her sophomore year and was immediately promoted to Metro Editor on her following semester. Her tasks includes assigning us news articles and editing them thoroughly. I always enjoy whenever Emily assigns me news stories because she knows me well so she always finds something suitable for me. I’ve learned that Emily is not only an excellent writer, but also a very approachable, likable and genuine friend. She has had a very good relationship with both staff writers and editors and has always had a down-to-earth attitude towards everyone. One thing about Emily is that she is a person you can count on if you need any help. I am sure that she has a bright future ahead of her and anyone would be lucky to have her as a reporter.
