As she was

Are these sentences correct with the given meanings:
1) She was well-organized, as she was kind. (Meaning: She was well-organized and she was also kind.)
2) She played basketball, as she played chess. (Meaning: She played basketball and she also played chess)
3) She was a painter, as she was a dancer. (Meaning: She was a painter and also a dancer.)

I know that 'as' could have a temporal meaning and also could be used to express the reason for something. Those meanings are not the ones I have in mind here.

Gratefully,
Navi.
