        Aakanksha was the best intern I've ever had at Google. She was independent and hard working, always asked the right questions and challenged our stakeholders with her research findings. Aakanksha went above and beyond my expectations no matter what type of task I gave her, and she didn't just "WOW" the entire Data Analytics organization with her Competitive UX Audit (the very first of its kind on Cloud) but gained recognition in the UXR community at Google as well. I hope she'll change her mind and join Google soon!
