Skills

This is a brainstorm of what I know how to do. Levels of mastery, talent and interest vary from just an introduction to a major in college. This list will expand and change as I think of things. It certainly does not include everything I know how to do. I would suggest making a list for yourself if you'd like an ego boost :)
