Allison Wing was one of several leading researchers affiliated with NOAA’s Climate Program Office who were profiled by the organization during Women’s History Month. Wing studies tropical cyclones and climate using numerical modeling and her work involves a lot of data analysis and interpreting.

“Don't give up on your dreams and goals; instead, have confidence in yourself and work towards them while still giving yourself space to have fun and explore different opportunities,” Wing advises. “It's important to continually remind yourself and remind others that you are qualified and you are meant to be where you are.”
