Writing:
I've been an English professor for over 20 years with 15 years of fiction writing before this; I have taught a wide-range of writing styles and literature, though most of my classes have been focused on Victorian lit and history, children's lit, and horror films.

I'm naturally bidialectal as a result of living between the US (California) and Scotland (Edinburgh) until grad school. I can also manage a wide range of US and British accents as well as Argonian.
While my fluency has faltered in conversation and writing, I'd be reasonably comfortable reading and VAing in Mexican Spanish (my accent is Mexico City).
