More details about your skills

I have worked in many jobs:

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, and have worked in a corporate environment as a Technical Writer and Proofreader, so have excellent written English skills. I excel at researching information.

I have intermediate to advanced computer and social media skills. I am also good at photography, and have high level Photoshop skills.

In addition, I have experience with food preparation, cooking and gardening.

I have been passively learning Spanish for years, with a lot of listening practice. I estimate I am roughly at a low intermediate level, although my comprehension is a lot better than my speaking ability, as I need to improve my knowledge of verb conjugation and other grammatical rules. I want to improve my Spanish skills.
