My name is Ziyad Hassan, and I am currently enrolled at Minnesota State University, Mankato, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Economics and Political Science. I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I am actively seeking a Summer 2026 internship. I have held a variety of positions, including working full-time as a lifeguard during the summer months, where I was required to respond quickly to rapidly changing situations, remain calm under pressure, and effectively manage the safety of hundreds of patrons each day. These experiences strengthened my ability to think critically, adapt in fast-paced environments, and communicate clearly with both team members and the public. I continue to apply the skills I gained such as responsibility, flexibility, and sound judgment as I prepare for a professional career.
