Any other material you think effectively lets the audience know who you are
Be sure to walk the line of being yourself, but in a professional setting. Tailor your about me to your audience and field of interest.
Your About Me page is where your audience is first introduced to you. First impressions last, so make sure your About Me page is well designed and a good reflection of who your are.

The Goals page of your ePortofolio is a chance for you to introspect and reflect on what your long-term plan is and what smaller goals you have in place to scaffold your way to your long-term goals. This is also a chance for you to introduce more about your ultimate goal or plan to your audience and begin the narrative of how you are preparing to reach this goal.
This page may be a little shorter than others down the road, but it is an excellent spot for you to reflect on your plans and note growth as you update it.
