Shania Shin is an outstanding student in the international Master’s Degree Program for Adult Education which I lead at University of Helsinki. She has consistently performed extremely well in the courses and I have seldom met a student who could match the intellectual quality, enthusiasm and focus of Shania. The results of Shania’s Master thesis is of great practical and also theoretical importance.

I had a pleasure to work with Shania for a couple of years in mutual projects aiming for international talent attraction and retention. Shania developed the EntryPoint mentoring programme and managed to create one of the most successful tools in bringing international students and companies & other organisations together in Finland. Shania is a hard working professional who always commits to her tasks with passion. I am happy to recommend her for tasks requiring systematic thinking, project development skills and managing vast networks

Shania was one of the speakers at the international Metropolis conference in The Hague. Given her charisma and outstanding flair and skills as a presenter, as well as her in-depth knowledge of both the the broader local and global challenges for the target group in question (i.e. the labor market integration of international students), she truly constituted one of the highlights of the symposium. Given her expertise and convincing, thoughtful communication, IQ decided to develop an international good practice sheet about Entry Point.

Shania is an inspiring lecturer who possesses a natural aptitude for presenting complex subjects in an insightful and pragmatic way. Her lectures on business negotiation and international market entry have been of great value to the learning of my students as she uses creative ways to turn the cultural aspects into strategic assets. All in all I have always received significantly positive feedback from my students.

I have come to know Shania as she led the Entrypoint mentoring programme in which I have participated twice as a mentor.

Shania’s brilliant project and event management skills, organizational wizardry, vast knowledge of different business areas and exceptional people skills have made an enormous impression on me. I have had the privilege to witness all of this twice in the extensive EntryPoint cross-cultural mentoring programme, which Shania has been in charge of. Her approach is always respectful, kind and happy. She has the gift of making everyone she meets feel special. I believe the mentoring programme’s success is largely due to Shania’s versatile competence and her networks, and I also believe Shania would be an asset in any organisation looking for a person with exceptionally good people and organizational skills.
