と同時に can also be used to describe two occupations of one person. So と同時に in this case would be translated as "is both a".
For example:
彼は先生と同時に小説家です。= He is both a teacher and a fiction writer.
To clearify further, to create a simular sentence it would be:
person + occupation +と同時に + another occupation
I hope this helps!
