High-profile

Hi, everyone. Does the words 'high-profile' have a good meaning?

I've seen 'high-profile acts of deception' as it has a bad meaning. Can I also say like 'She has a high-profile career' as a good meaning?

Thanks.

High-profile is neutral, it doesn't have either a good or bad meaning. It is whatever that is 'high-profile' that can be good or bad. You could be a high-profile doctor (good) or a high-profile criminal (bad).

It means very visible: that's not bad nor good.
