What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in a supportive environment, focusing on customer service and human resources.

Hello, I’m Barira Ahmed, an enthusiastic NHS student at Anoka High School, currently on an exciting journey toward a four-year degree in Minnesota. My passion for learning and helping others drives me to excel in my studies and extracurricular activities. I am actively involved in various clubs, including HOSA and the National Honors Society, which have enriched my high school experience.

Currently, I am interning in the Department of Human Resources at Target Tech Headquarters, where I am honing my customer service skills and gaining valuable insights into the corporate environment. My role involves assisting potential candidates with their inquiries and ensuring they receive the best support possible. This experience has not only enhanced my communication skills but has also deepened my understanding of workplace dynamics.

In addition to my internship, I am committed to volunteering with the Muslim Association Society Convention and engaging in activities that allow me to give back to my community. I believe that my diverse experiences and dedication to personal growth will enable me to contribute positively to any future endeavors.
