Hi, I’m Zarina Kara. I’m a reliable, customer-focused retail professional with hands-on experience in busy stores like HomeSense and Wilko. I excel at delivering friendly, high-quality service, helping customers find products, explaining promotions, and keeping stock organized with visually appealing displays. I’m confident operating tills and POS systems, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to maintain security and loss prevention. Currently studying Ancient History at the University of Leeds, I’m curious about culture, museums, and public-facing settings. I bring strong communication, quick learning, and a proactive mindset, and I’m excited to apply my classroom knowledge to real-world retail, merchandising, and potential roles in education or cultural institutions.…Hi, I’m Zarina Kara.
