multi-talented
Skilled many ways
Multi-talented describes someone with abilities in several different areas.
The term often applies to performers who can sing, dance, and act, or to people who excel across unrelated fields: She's multi-talented—a surgeon who also plays concert piano.
The hyphen is standard but sometimes dropped.
