I'm an Enrolled Nurse specializing in spinal and head injuries. My main work area is the disability sector and I also look after people with neurological disorders such as Huntington's Disease and MS. I know a fair bit about tracheostomy and ventilators as well.
In addition, I'm currently studying film production at university, doing a BA in Multimedia Studies. I'm starting my sub-major in animation next year. Having said that, I'm working my way to specialising in writing screenplays.

Greek, Latin, etymology and word meanings in general. I collect words like a lepidopterist collects butterflies, though without the gas.
I also have a sound foundation in the Greek and Norse myths, thanks to Bullfinch and Edith Hamilton...

I think the problem with putting your expertise in your sig is that if you have a whole list of areas, it might not fit. It's an interesting idea nevertheless.
