If I could describe Yen in three simple terms, Yen is a higher achiever, driven, and dependable. I had the pleasure of studying as well as working alongside Yen for almost 5 years. Throughout the years, Yen has demonstrated her ability to take strong initiative and juggle a multitude of tasks simultaneously in a productive and effective manner and still consistently achieve positive results. Yen is a life-long learner who is endlessly curious about diverse matters and will strive to develop and excel in the subject. Through all the challenges I observed her face, she maintains an optimistic, open and exploratory personality with the strong capability to take measured risks, overcome and adapt effectively. She is a kind-hearted individual that continually takes time to ensure others around her feel supported and valued through assisting and guiding everyone in their tasks and concerns. Alongside her nurturing nature, she excels in analytical and observation skills. She is capable of pinpointing areas of weakness and improvement, deliberate creatively and outside the box, and thus enabling her to develop and implement effective strategic plans that will assist in guiding herself and others. As a professional leader who goes beyond her roles and takes on challenges willingly, Yen earns my highest recommendation.

Yen and I met while studying our masters in International Tourism and Hotel Management at Southern Cross University. Yen is not only an extremely intelligent individual, but also a very hard worker. I have never met a student with such dedication to achieving results. She is very goal-oriented; she knows what she wants and does everything in her power to make what she wants come about. During our studies, many fellow students turned to her for advice on how to tackle difficult assignments. She never disappointed them! For all the above reasons, I one hundred per cent recommend Yen as a professional.
