Her Story
About Noelle
I've been working in technology, software delivery, and software development for 6 years since 2020. I work for Accenture, a Fortune 500 consulting firm, where I've been for 4 years. It's project-based work, so I've been on many different government projects - Team Postal, Team Army, and currently Team Air Force since October 2025. I'm a team lead working with Oracle software, doing business analysis and testing. My day revolves around back-to-back meetings supporting my team, and when I get free time, I'm testing code, analyzing process flowcharts, and ensuring that what the client wants and how they expect the software to work actually matches what we deliver. I take client requirements and make sure they make sense so our developers can develop against them, produce code that can be tested, and then push to production and release. It's the overall software development process. The work I'm doing now with Team Air Force feels really impactful because I can see how it affects the planes used by the Department of Defense. It's one thing to understand software development and coding, but another thing to actually feel that impact on the world. I also run my own business, Clean by Noel Christina, where I combine my kinesiology degree with my passion for health and wellness as a personal trainer and Pilates instructor. I'm currently pursuing my master's at Georgetown while raising my 2-year-old daughter.

Ten minutes with Noelle
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the way I was raised and my family, especially my grandparents and parents. My grandparents were very old school - they had 5 children, all graduated from college, all are married and bought their own homes. I come from an African-American family where my great-great grandmother worked for a white man, folded his clothes, and breastfed his children, so this is a very real reality for my family. But everybody always stayed positive, they stayed genuine, and they instilled values in me like discipline and accountability, working your hardest every day, getting dressed every morning, and showing up as your best self. I've been seeing this trend on TikTok about high-effort parents, and I definitely had high-effort parents who went above and beyond. The expectations that my parents set and the values that they instilled in me, I attribute that to my success wholeheartedly, 100%. I'm trying to now out-parent them with my daughter, and it's really, really hard.
