Experience

From the moment WCW aired, Brie's admiration for professional wrestling went from hobby to career after being a long-life observer of the embellished sport. From going to live events in her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, to purchasing every pro wrestling magazine on the market, her consumption of the industry has led her to work for online and in-print publications like Wrestling Inc. and Inside The Ropes in the United Kingdom. While keeping up with all the events surrounding the squared circle, she also enjoys introducing non-fans and casuals to the product by relating it to other relevant pop culture phenomena at the time of her reports. When she is not writing, reading, or jotting down notes here, she enjoys spending her time hunting for words in word finder books, listening and going to metal concerts, and loving up on her two tuxedo cats, Jack Black and Princess Devitt (named, of course, after Prince Devitt, currently WWE's Finn Balor).

Education

Brie has a B.A. in journalism and music business from Western Illinois University and an M.A. in communication leadership. She is currently applying for her Ph. D in media and communication.
