Summary
As an immigrant from Afghanistan who resettled in the United States in 2021, I bring a unique blend of skills and experiences to the workforce. In Pakistan, I honed my talents in product inventory management. Additionally, my proficiency in sewing and handicrafts allowed me to create distinctive designs. Now, in the U.S., I am eager to leverage these skills and contribute to a new professional journey. My journey reflects adaptability, resilience, and a strong work ethic, and I am excited about the opportunity to apply these qualities in a fulfilling job role.
