World Wrestling Entertainment stands as the heartbeat of American Professional Wrestling, a dream that took root in me at the tender age of seven. Originally aspiring to become a WWE writer, my journey led me to an unexpected yet invaluable role as a WWE Network Logger. Armed with a degree in Creative Writing and a Publishing Certificate, I approached this opportunity with pride and unwavering dedication. Commuting from NYC to CT five days a week, I embraced the early mornings, waking up at 4-4:30 am just to arrive at the location by 8 am. Each day was a testament to my commitment, and looking back, I harbor no regrets. This chapter in my life was not just a job; it was a labor of love, an unforgettable journey fueled by passion and the pursuit of a childhood dream.
Throughout my time in 2018, I played a pivotal role in shaping the WWE Network experience, contributing to iconic shows like Monday Night RAW, NXT, and SmackDown. My responsibilities included meticulously watching each episode, strategically curating and implementing SEO-rich descriptors into Avid Player, the dynamic software that enhances content discoverability. This process ensures a seamless search engine, allowing fans to effortlessly find and relive their favorite moments, matches, and storylines.
