  Erika Wiggins
 
Professional/Personal Overview
  My eclectic experience in outdoor adventure, travel, aviation, rescue/public safety, and real estate allows me to cover a wide range of subjects from solo backpacking to aviation safety. Passionate about social media, I engage readers in casual and fun dialog on Twitter, Facebook, and my blog, while driving traffic to my published online work.

Deadlines challenge, but don't defeat me. I have successfully written a weekly column, published two regular newsletters, and know how to manage my time.
