Inaara Ahmed

I am an undergraduate at the University of Nottingham with two years of retail experience and a genuine passion for customer service. Experienced in till operation, stock management, deliveries and maintaining high store standards, I am hardworking, reliable and a strong team player who takes pride in delivering a great customer experience. I work well both independently and using my own initiative, and I am looking for a part-time role to work alongside my studies from September but am flexible and could start earlier.
