Running a small business often means wearing every hat - sales, marketing, customer service, admin - all while trying to grow. In this hands-on workshop, business owners will learn how to use free AI tools to streamline repetitive tasks, create customer emails, generate marketing content, build simple follow-up systems, and reduce time spent on routine work. Participants are encouraged to bring a sample of their own business writing - such as a social post, email, or brochure - so they can practice customizing AI outputs to match their personal brand and voice. No tech experience required. Everyone will leave with AI-generated templates they can start using immediately. 

*Students encouraged to bring a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, in addition to a sample of their own business writing. 

*Must be 18 or older.

Instructor BIO: 

Hola! My name is Vanesa Roberts. I was born and raised in Argentina. I love learning about different cultures and the magic of language. I started teaching in Argentina and with all the years I have already been in the USA, I add up to over 20 years of experience in the field of education. In my free time, I like to be with my family. We love to travel, and whenever we have a chance, we go camping and hiking. Bakeries are a must-stop at our destinations, especially those with European or Argentine-style pastries. Let’s say that music, friends, adventure, faith, as well as dancing, baking, teaching, laughing, and spending tons of time with my family make me the person I am today. What about you? Are you ready for this Spanish adventure? Let’s do it!
