Penny Li

I am a dedicated third-year Bachelor of Commerce student at Victoria University of Wellington, majoring in Accounting, Marketing, and Management. My academic journey has taught me that accounting goes far beyond bookkeeping, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating financial information to drive strategic decision-making and enhance organizational success. In addition, my studies in marketing and management have underscored the importance of understanding consumer and employee needs, allowing businesses to tailor their products and services to better serve their target markets. This focus on customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention directly contributes to increased revenue and profitability.

My adaptability and keen attention to detail have consistently improved team efficiency and customer satisfaction across roles in retail, hospitality, and administration. I have honed my ability to build strong relationships with customers, fostering loyalty, repeat purchases, and positive word-of-mouth. I consistently go above and beyond, offering personalized service and genuine care for customer needs, resulting in memorable experiences and lasting connections.

I am a proactive, adaptable, and empathetic team player, eager to expand my skill set and contribute to any organization I work with. My optimistic outlook, dedication to continuous improvement, and strong communication skills enable me to create meaningful customer experiences while fostering collaborative team environments.

I'm all about keeping a healthy balance in life. I am very passionate about the gym, the reason I love weightlifting is because it showcases my dedication, discipline and goal-setting abilities to myself. In my first year of lifting, I could not squat 60kgs, it seemed impossible to me at the time. Now I squat 80kgs for many repetitions, it is truly amazing what you can accomplish with determination and hard work. I also enjoy nature, walking, hiking, and the beach. However, my favourite hobbies are reading books to expand my knowledge of the world, and painting/drawing as I get to express my creative side through art. Above all, I cherish moments with friends and family, I love trying new activities and adventures to create unforgettable memories. That's me in a nutshell!
