I took the CAMBRIDGE ASSESSMENT ENGLISH Test
That tests your level of English Grammar/Vocabulary. My test results were: Thank you for completing the English Level Test: Congratulations! Your level is C2 (advanced/mastery). This is approximately equivalent to CPE, an IELTS band score of 9 or 120 at TOEFL iBT. Time taken: 8 minutes, 47 seconds. C2 Proficiency is the highest-level qualification provided by Cambridge Assessment English and shows that learners have mastered English to an exceptional level. It is focused on Level C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). C2 Proficiency is one of the examinations in Cambridge English Qualifications – a path for improving language skills. Each Cambridge English Qualification targets a particular level of the CEFR and they work together to create an effective learning journey. People who were awarded the C2 Proficiency certificate were legally allowed to teach in exchange for money. Namely, this certificate gave people the option to become instructors in Private Course Institutions.
Time
I can complete your project on a timeline.
HOW I WORK on a Cross-Functional Team?
Challenge No. 1: Communication what is going on? = Have our work description in writing and in a project plan (if applicable), that I sign.
Challenge No. 2: Communication and frustrations - worries = Give revisions with ease and communicate to you always in a kindly manner, give you updates and let you know my agenda.

Education
Attending college:
(1) Trade School for Advertising Design and Illustration - SCROC, Southern California's Regional Occupational Center in Torrance, California.
(2) Cartooning - SCROC, Southern California's Regional Occupational Center in Torrance, California.
(3) El Camino College in Torrance/Hawthorne, California - Watercolor Art Class and Oil/Acrylic Painting, etc. (4) Los Angeles Harbor College - Started in a summer course and my English 101 teacher thought that I completed EXCEPTIONAL schoolwork and went to the Dean and Offices of the school and asked if they would invite me into their Honor's Course, and this meant I would have to become MORE THAN a Full-Time student and take 17 Units of all honors classes. I accept this offer even though I had three young sons and worked full time as a waitress at a Fish Market Restaurant on the Redondo Beach Pier. Now I was an honor's student taking all honor's classes and art classes were not part of the honor's curriculum.
As an honor's student taking 17 Units, I had to have at least straight A-'s in every class and complete the honor's schoolwork curriculum and I did; SUCCESSFULLY, plus worked 5 days a week at the Fishmarket and still had time to take my sons to the park, go swimming, etc. I was invited into UCLA honor's program also, but Los Angeles Harbor College's Career Center asked if they could test my natural vocational skills with 15 to 20 different tests and I accepted, and they found out that I had an IQ that only 1% of this Countries USA has and it is an Artist, English Professor, and Psychologist, Intelligence Quotient. I was recommended to pursue a career as an English Professor at a college level, or a Psychologist, or as an Artist in one of the Art Vocations.
So Publishing is a good fit for me. I am not a genius and only a gifted person who was a good, solid student because I was raised by Japanese - Hawaiian Parents who instilled in me - HOW - TO - WORK with disciple after earning it (and earning it was not a easy). And I am thankful every day to my Hawaiian Japanese father Stephen David Esau Kekuewa, his Parents and Siblings, and his children my half brother and sister. I am the mother of four children and grew up in Hermosa Beach, California, and went to Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, CA.
