Holly Hanckel

Queenstown ,New Zealand

Summary

Hello my name is Holly Hanckel, i'm 19 years old turning 20 in July and am from Queenstown, New Zealand. I am in the process of receiving my British Citizenship so hopefully I will have that before I arrive on the 24th May.

I've grown up going to school, hanging out with friends, ski racing, travelling, playing sports and working on the weekends.

My hobbies include, fashion, having dinner parties with my friends, hiking in the mountains, buying and selling clothes, creating my own style and running my business.

One of my biggest accomplishments have been starting my own business at 18 years of age. I have been running this for the past 12 months, I create the social media content, source contacts/suppliers in Australasia, America and Asia. As well as building a Shopify website and doing all my own finances.

I've loved fashion all my life and this has allowed me to be creative and start my own business with my fashion sense and eye for detail.

I have had several different jobs since I was 13 so I know that I can adapt to different workplace and team environments. I am easy to get along with. I am confident, determined, hard working, social and always enjoy a good time and strive to succeed.

Over the past year I have taught myself how to develop websites through Shopify and Wix and successfully drive sales marketing through the Meta Verse. I am now proficient in building and managing Shopify platforms. Whether it's crafting designs or optimizing functionality.
