expertises
Areas of mastery
Expertises is the plural of expertise, referring to multiple areas of specialized knowledge or skill.
Though expertise is often treated as uncountable (she has expertise in finance), the plural appears when distinguishing separate domains: The project required expertises in both engineering and environmental science.
The usage is more common in academic and technical writing than in everyday speech.
