Thread: Areas of Expertise

I know alot about movies, particularily horror and cult movies.

-Religion, particularly Islam
-Middle Eastern culture
-The Arabic language

...

I admit, I predict that most people will never have any use for most of these things. But I also know from my experiences as a writer dealing with other writers... that in the grand scheme of things, no piece of information is useless because somebody is going to work it into their story somehow.

--A bunch of obscure factoids about Slavic mythology and Classical literature

Well, I’m knowledgeable about many areas such as:

Science (Chemistry, Microbiology, Anatomy, and some Physics)
Photography
Space Exploration
Music (guitarist, read music)
School Bus Driving
Target Shooting (rifle and pistol)

But I’m not really an expert at anything
except spending
more money than I have.

StrikingEagle

I know a little bit about organic gardening.

I would say my primary area of expertise is Child Care & Teaching Young Children. I began babysitting at age 9. I've been a Sunday School teacher in several churches, a Children's Ministry Director at one, and I've worked & lived in a Chinese orphanage where I also did a little ESL teaching of the two eldest children. I also worked as a fulltime nanny for about a decade before becoming a mother. I am mother of 3 boys at present, 2 of whom I homeschool.

I've lived in southern California for the majority of my life, so could give descriptions and facts for those who can't travel here but need setting info. Maybe even pictures.

I have some experience as a foreign missionary that might be helpful/interesting for someone who hasn't been one. I also have friends currently living as missionaries abroad for further reference.

I also know more than the average woman about pregnancy & delivery since I researched it quite heavily during my childbearing years and had access to actual studies and full PubMed articles through my husband who was a research scientist up until a couple months ago.

I have some expertise within the British criminal justice system most notably in relation to powers, policies and proceedures of the police and a good understanding of the courts.
