With my strong language skills, I particularly love working with ESL/EFL. I worked as a TEFL/TESOL instructor and English editor for three years in Prague, Czech Republic, and I still speak some Czech; I'm currently studying for the Spanish DELE C1 proficiency exam and French DELF C1; can read and have simple conversations in German; am conversational in Italian and Portuguese; took a year of Arabic (MSA) at the University of Washington; and am currently learning Russian and Swedish. Lastly, as a web and eLearning developer for the past 20+ years, I'm an expert in CMS (particularly Wordpress), HTML, CSS, XML, and other web scripting languages.
