Reference Letter
I got to know Miss Chmielewska about a year ago in her first semester at HWR. She is a student of
the Master Program Business Intelligence and Process Management (BIPM), and I had the
pleasure to teach her during both semesters. In the winter semester Kamila was one of my best
students in our Data Science class, achieving the highest possible score in the final exam. In
addition, she demonstrated great analytical skills and proved that she can work efficiently as part of
the team on an analytics project with cooperation of an external company (Flatplane).
In her second semester Kamila was enrolled in my Text, Web and Social Media Analytics Lab and
lived up to my -by now- very high expectations. She showed excellent leadership skills being a
project manager in a multi-cultural team. She was an effective communicator, often serving as a
liaison between scattered members of the group. She represented HWR demonstrating a high level
of professionalism and responsibility while working on a project with another external company
(Webtrekk). Apart from showing superb organizational skills, she impressed me with her great
motivation and intellectual curiosity. The results of the project were outstanding, not only with
respect to the analytics part (creating a prototype for the task of real-time bidding strategies) but
also w.r.t. the final presentation which was filled with creative ideas (gamification of the whole
presentation and involving the viewers to participate in a real time auction). I was particularly
impressed by Kamila’s skills to motivate even the least driven students, markedly raising the team
spirit and mutual support through-out the project.
I am aware that Kamila’s contribution in the company’s projects was a success not only in my class.
During the course of Strategic Issues of IT, she was working on a consulting project with the
cooperation of the company Smart-Pricer. She impressed the founders of the company (CEO and
CCO) who in turn offered her an internship in the Business Development field. After a 2-months
long internship with Smart-Pricer she decided to continue expanding her knowledge in Business
Analysis and she is going to join KPMG Crimsonwing in Malta as a Junior Business Analyst next
semester.
Her commitment was honored by the Berliner Wirtschaft and she received a Deutschlandstipendium
in 2016 for good results and social engagement. Prior to starting the Master Program her academic
performance was appreciated by the Institute of International Education and she won in the GE
Foundation Scholar-Leader Program competition in Poland in 2014. Her results allowed her also to
obtain a Scholarship of the Rector of Wroclaw University of Technology given for best students’
performance. Apart from her academic interests, she was actively helping in her local community in
Poland. She organized a voluntary action of teaching English to seniors in a local association ‘In
women’s circle’. It included conducting of classes and activities to give seniors an opportunity to get
to know the language better.
As Kamila’s professor, I have had the opportunity to observe her commitment and motivation in
class. She is an outstanding student and I think that her great academic performance, her career
development and social engagement will make her a highly sought after candidate in any
organization.
With kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Markus Löcher Berlin, August 5th 2016
