Yes, anything your brain can do there is a Turing Machine that can do
them too, including committing all your errors; but there are lots of
Turing Machines that can do lots of things that your brain cannot.
However your brain does have one advantage, it's a real physical
thing, but a Turing Machine is not, it's more like a schematic diagram
of the underlying logic of a brain or computer at the most detailed
and fundamental level possible. A Turing Machine can't calculate
anything unless it's actually constructed, and for that you need atoms.

Yes, you can be considered to be a Turing Machine, a particular Turing
Machine, but you are NOT ALL Turing Machines
All Turing machines have the same computational capability.
/"A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation describing an
abstract machine that manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according
to a table of rules. Despite the model's simplicity, it is capable of
implementing any computer algorithm."/
