Should say 'WHAT would be your..' (look before you post Dennis!!!)
You know the sort of thing:
Jeff Jefferson, 37, architect and father of 2...
Or:
Alan Boombuffter, philanthropist / entrepreneur / semi-pro fencer...
Basically it's the 'describe yourself in X number words' thing but with the slant of how it would appear in an article or news story.
...look, it's Chit Chat, I can do whatever.
(Obviously nothing too personal or sensitive and no real names necessary)

MEDIA PROFILE:
Karl Heinrich, 42, polymath inventor and father to Jezebel Heinrich.
Before retiring to set up his own bleeding-edge laboratory complex in partnership with his daughter Jezebel, he started his career aged 16 as a Battlefield Engineer for what was then the United Earth Armies Command (UEAC), during which he received a Palladium Star for his pivotal role in the battle of Herschel Linea on Europa, in which Herr Heinrich lured the forces of the Jovian Chaos into a canyon before using nuclear explosive mining charges to bury them under hundreds of thousands of tons of rock-hard ice. At age 22 he requested a transferral to the Martian Combined Air & Space Force where he served for a number of years with distinction, including a decisive action during the BYZANTINE Crisis in which he flew his self-modified A/S-616 fighter craft right through the guts of one of BYZANTINE's Aerospace Carriers, disabling it and allowing the hard-pressed Ceres Free Fleets to last until reinforcements arrived from Ganymede Spacedock. During the incorporation of Solar military forces following that crisis, Herr Heinrich spent a couple of years on secondment to Antarctica's Sixth Armoured Regiment, a more sedate period in his military career during which he found the time to have an artificial womb implanted in order to give birth to his daughter. Following the expiration of his assignment, Herr Heinrich joined Megalith Laboratories on Haumea as a Research Associate, where he was instrumental in developing and refining the same Hellgate technology that has enabled the on-going exploration and settlement of the Daemon Dimensions.
Since establishing his own laboratory complex, Herr Heinrich has made it one of his life's missions to decode the Carina Transmission, a mysterious burst of high-frequency radio waves which emanated from the star Eta Carinae in 3245 CE, which appears to be highly dense in information yet resists decryption & translation attempts. Heinrich has also devoted research efforts into faster-than-light travel in an attempt to get probes and/or explorers to the star of Eta Carinae itself, before that star explodes in a supernova.

That is by far the greatest name for a burger joint that I've ever heard.

It would probably say: "Quail, dedicated mother of one, ..." because women in news articles always seem to be defined first and foremost by their role as a mother.
But it should really say: "Quail, mathemagician, mother, part-time superhero and great political thinker, ..."
(Or maybe not :o)
