Google Intern Insights 2014 - Meet Cassie Kozyrkov

June 30, 2014

From Google Glass to Project Loon, Adwords to Docs, our interns have the opportunity to work on some of Google’s most cutting edge and innovative projects. Interns also work across sales and other business functions, bringing a fresh perspective to the work done at Google. To show you just how much of an impact interns make and to highlight their unique experiences, we’re bringing you a special blog series: Google Intern Insights.
For today's post, meet Cassie Kozyrkov, a Decision Support Intern located in the Google Mountain View office. Cassie is a PHD in Statistics at North Carolina State University. When she’s not crunching numbers and working on machine learning, you can find her at the theater, making art, or playing MOBA games.

Tell us one fun, outlandish fact about you!What inspired you to apply for this internship, and what made Google appealing to you as a potential intern?What team are you working on at Google? Can you provide us with a high-level description of your summer project?What’s the best part about working with your manager? What about your team?

We all know Googlers and interns love the food and the other benefits. Outside of some of the well-known perks, what’s your favorite part about working at Google?What’s something you’ve accomplished during your internship (thus far) that you’re most proud of? Or something you’re looking forward to working on?

While at Google, Cassie is interning with her host, Dan Liu, on the Ads Quality Team. Dan attended Tsinghua University in Beijing before getting her PHD from UCSD and coming to Google in 2008. Originally from China, Dan chose Google because she wanted “to work with smart people and have a big impact”.
