Customer-Facing Experience - Bershka & Zara
Before and during my computer science studies, I worked customer-facing retail roles at Bershka and Zara in Beirut. Handling a fast-paced sales floor, assisting customers, and working as part of a team taught me how to communicate clearly, stay composed under pressure, and solve problems on the spot, skills that carried directly into how I collaborate and troubleshoot as a developer.
