Mingke Schilstra is a Retail Expansion Trainee at H&M Group. Colleagues describe them as "Mingke did some fantastic work at the Customer Insights Center of the University of Groningen (RUGCIC). She took our basic knowledge base and turned it into something really user-friendly and thriving. She translated scientific papers into understandable practical content and created a great knowledge platform. Companies tied to the university's marketing research now have an easier time finding the articles, lectures, and whitepapers they need. Plus, Mingke has a knack for design and can make complex academic stuff simple and practical. Any marketing company would be lucky to have her on board." and "As a member (and representative from the Hanze University of Applied Sciences) of the General Board of ESN Groningen, I had the privilege of getting to know Mingke professionally. Mingke joined the General Board in 2022/2023 and held the role of Vice President. In the summer of 2021, Mingke began a board year as Integration Coordinator of the 2021/2022 ESN Groningen board. It was a time when we were all trying to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 had quite an impact on student life, students and also international students: depression, loneliness, stress, satisfaction with life, etc. It was Mingke's unwavering effort to put student well-being on the map. Thank you so much! Mingke put her professional competencies to use by identifying, creating and delivering value to meet the needs of ESN members during a challenging time. Mingke is a keen observer, intelligent and a friendly person. From my experience, it is great to have her on your team."
