About this pattern
Explanation
にして② is used to present two roles, qualities, or states that belong to the same person or thing, often highlighting that someone is noteworthy for having multiple attributes at once. It can convey a sense of contrast or admirable multiplicity, similar to saying 'not only X, but also Y' or 'as X, (he/she) is also Y.' It is commonly used with professions, statuses, or notable characteristics, and can show that someone is recognized for being both things at once.
