Meet Christine Wang – Precise Internship Program alum, Computer Systems Analyst – Junior, and Precise Systems’ Employee Spotlight for March 2024.
Christine joined our Team in the summer of 2022 through the Precise Internship Program as she was coming toward the end of her undergraduate studies. Although cybersecurity had been her dream career since high school, she found that the topics she studied in her data science classes were much more intriguing. Her internship with the Precise NAVAIR AMS team helped her realize that her true passion was data analysis. Christine was given many projects that allowed her to create stories only data could tell and impact the Precise mission at large.
When asked about her internship experience, she says, “I personally liked the amount of creative freedom I was given, and the whole process of figuring out what story I wanted the dashboard to tell. After the internship, it just felt right for me to continue pursuing a career in data analysis, and I’m glad I was able to use the knowledge I had gained over time in a hands-on way.”
Upon finishing her degree, Christine officially joined the NAVAIR AMS Team as a Data Analyst and now gets to use her creativity, passion, and expertise each day. She also loves her Team members and knows that if she ever needs help, there are people there for her! This was one of the biggest takeaways from her internship, and the best piece of advice she could offer to anyone thinking of applying for our summer internship program. “Be open to learning new things during the internship and don’t be afraid to ask around”, says Christine. “People on the team are very familiar with the things you’re encountering for the first time and are always willing to help.”
When she is not working with data, Christine loves to spend time watching movies and studying art! She considers herself to be a “cool, adventurous, but reserved film buff”. Her favorite pieces of art come from the French Impressionism movement, where she finds the usage of colors and everyday, casual subject matters to be the defining features of that time. She would love to meet artists such as Manet, Renoir, or Monet, and learn the techniques and motivations behind their paintings. This passion for art is complemented well by the work she does with AMS data – Christine loves to find the creative side of life and discover the hidden stories to be told!
We are so grateful to be the stepping stone of Christine’s professional journey and are excited to see the impact she will continue to have on our mission. Thank you, Christine, for the passion you bring to our Precise Team!
