Since joining the National Security Agency (NSA), Christina S. has worked on a list of projects that would excite any security-minded computer scientist.

Vulnerability analysis, cryptanalysis, software reverse engineering, malware analysis shes covered it all, including technical research where the self-described mathematics lover applied static analysis to detect data leaks in Android applications.

I had the wonderful opportunity to be a 2009 Center for Strategic Intelligence Research Fellow at the National Defense Intelligence College where I researched the application of graph theory to analyze the security of a software system.

Today, Christina is the Deputy Director of the Computer Science Skill Community, a position that allows her to coach, mentor and provide professional development opportunities to other computer scientists.

Employees come to me to help them advance their careers, she explains. I help them improve their knowledge and skills to prepare for their next position.
