In My Own Words
Freelance writer with a hiking problem. Author of Urban Trails: Reno. Outdoor Columnist for Reno News & Review. Background in marketing, but can swing an ax like a mother----. Advanced in juggling projects, meeting deadlines, and receiving red pen marks in the margins. Look under my belt (but not literally) for kickass project management, copywriting, digital marketing, and budgeting skills.
I once won an award from the Outdoor Writers Association of America and lived out of my Subaru with my dog (without going totally nuts), but my greatest achievement was making banana bread without following a recipe. Peek through my portfolio for more: https://authory.com/HelenaGuglielmino
