The Making of a WordPress Journalist

Here's my story of how I went from being an Electrical Engineer to a WordPress Journalist cum Researcher and how I managed my passion for becoming my paycheck. Today, I review products, provide WordPress support and handle technical documentations.

P.S. If you think my story has a lot of WordPress in it, then you cannot be more right. 🙂

I’ll start by stating the obvious ~ It’s hard to write about yourself. I don’t call myself a hero, hell I am no hero. On the contrary, I am embarking on a journey to be better at what I do, and I cannot wait to see what is in store for me. Right now I’m happy and satisfied with what I do, I am surrounded by great people trying to accomplish great things and not many people can say that about their career.

So, let me thank WordPress of course and then Topher, who’s been doing a fantastic job via inviting people to share their essays with the community. Writing is my thing, but penning down all the highs and lows was quite challenging in itself.

The Making of a WordPress Journalist – as I titled it, recently got published on HeroPress. Here you’ll explore most of the aspects of my professional life.

Studying something under the influence of parents and then adopting an alternate career path is a horrendous combination. But still I did, and it’s been almost five years that I’m working as a professional copywriter and running a startup named FinkTanks which aims to train females along the same lines just as I did. Currently, I’m a part of WPTie and have adopted WordPress as my new gluten. Because whatever I am today, that’s because of WordPress and the community around it.
