What did agent Patterson study to have those skills? [closed] - Crop estate agent working with computer in office

In the blindspot serie, there is an special agent called: Patterson

enter image description here

Her job is help to the team from it's laboratory(at the beginning). She seems to have a high knowledge about:

  • Hacking
  • App development
  • Surveillance
  • Project Management
  • Commercial Airline Piloting
  • Bomb Disposal
  • Counter-Terrorism
  • Puzzles
  • Linguistics
  • Geography
  • International Relations
  • Hostage Negotiation
  • Drug Counseling
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Physics
  • Medicine
  • etc

If is possible to have these amount of knowledge for a human, what has she studied?

Or what kind or university/institute real career is close to have people able to do what she does?

Maybe is a pure fiction, but would be interesting to know: What did she study to have those skills?

Thanks

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that someone could have good working knowledge of that subject list. For someone to be an absolute authority on them all might be a bit of an exaggeration for plot purposes.

The basics could come from simply a good school, followed by university. It's not unknown for people to obtain more than one masters degree whilst still in their twenties. If that further education was done as part of a military career, that would also explain some other aspects. That the character now works for the FBI would complete the list.

The term used for someone with high competency in multiple subjects is polymath
