Emily Probst Senior Editor

Emily Probst is a senior editor for Modern Machine Shop (MMS), writing for the brand’s print and digital audience. Recent topic coverage includes women in manufacturing, twin-spindle technology promoted at an industry open house event and machine shop maintenance.

Emily joined the Modern Machine Shop staff in the summer of 2006 as the editorial intern editing product releases for the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS). Hired full-time in 2007 after graduating with a B.S.J. from Ohio University’s E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, she edited product releases and columns until 2012, when she moved to editing case studies. In 2016, she became Modern Machine Shop's managing editor, shepherding the production of the monthly print magazine, which is sent to 95,000+ subscribers. In this role, she also managed MMS’s blog as well as its LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts.

In 2020, she became a senior editor, writing feature stories and original case studies for both print and online media channels. She also creates video content, offering behind-the-scenes expertise about how to submit a press release, as well as technical commentary and interviews on topics such as practical approaches to automation.

In these editorial roles, she has been fortunate enough to travel to Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Japan and across the United States visiting machine shops and OEMs while attending trade shows and other manufacturing industry events.
