Software

I haven’t worked with specific software programs for a while, but I studied Computer Science in high school overseas and received a diploma in computing I used to work with programs like DOS, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Windows, and various other private software Although it has been a long time and I’ve forgotten some of them, I have a very good memory when it comes to computers and I learn new systems quickly

Interests

I’m interested in fitness, martial arts, and healthy living I also enjoy working in team environments, learning new skills, and connecting with people from different backgrounds I like cooking, hospitality, and providing great service to others I also enjoy traveling and being surrounded by people—I love energetic environments I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with the younger generation and seeing them succeed in different fields One of my greatest joys is watching a client achieve their goals—goals they came to me for—and seeing their happiness, smile, and the confidence they gain when they get there That feeling is priceless for me

Additional Information

I am a quick learner with strong communication and teamwork skills. I enjoy working in fast-paced environments and always bring a positive attitude. I’m available for flexible shifts, and I’m passionate about helping people and seeing them succeed. I speak both Persian and English and hold an RSA certificate.

Quote

Character is the foundation of victory. Do not be discouraged by failure, nor be arrogant from success; instead, use both as valuable experience for your future. When training, train so hard that you cry, but in competition, smile and enjoy. A humble learner who seeks knowledge will never be sati
