How was she going to help other writers when she was filled with self-doubt about her own abilities? She quickly learned people are neither born \\u201cgood writers\\u201d nor \\u201cbad writers.\\u201d Rather, everyone is teachable and can improve their writing skills.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>Since then, she has dedicated her professional life to writing and editing\\u2014working as a writing consultant, r\\u00e9sum\\u00e9 writer, book editor, and university instructor. She is a frequent speaker and workshop facilitator on proactive career management and professional writing to universities, companies, and professional development programs in the US and the EU.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>Giusto holds a Ph.D. in History from Duke University, where she also worked at their nationally recognized writing center for more than six years. After, she served as the professional writing consultant to Duke\\u2019s Master of Engineering Management program for two years where she taught writing workshops and provided individualized feedback to master\\u2019s degree students. She also taught for two years as an adjunct professor of Luxury Professional Development at North Carolina State University.<\\\/p>\\n<\\\/div>\\n<\\\/div>\\n\n\n<div class=\\\"full-width-text\\\">\\n\n\n<p>Since founding her communications consulting firm, Career Path Writing Solutions in 2013, Giusto has worked with thousands of individuals one-on-one and in group settings.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>In addition to completing her doctoral studies in North Carolina, she earned her master\\u2019s and bachelor\\u2019s degrees from Youngstown State University in Ohio. She is a Certified Professional R\\u00e9sum\\u00e9 Writer and Certified Interview Coach.
