Can you boast your qualifications in a postive way?

[Torsten]

Hi,

Can the verb "boast" also be used in a positive sense? For example, how does the following phrase sound to you:

boast an impressive array of professional qualifications

Thanks a lot,
Torsten

.
That sounds fine when referring to another person, but not to oneself.

Ichiro boasts an 18-game hitting streak and several team records.
