Christine Rideout

Master Chief Petty Officer Christine Rideout was the chief engineer of the ill-fated USS Huang Zhong in the 2260s. She was one of the ship's three survivors, along with science officer Lieutenant Samuel Boma and Ensign Suresh Kari. 

In late 2269, Master Chief Rideout transferred to the USS Endeavour (NCC-1895), where she served as a senior enlisted engineer - a transfer that some, including Captain Atish Khatami, saw as a sideways step in her career after previously serving as Chief Engineer.

Master Chief Rideout is descended from a long line of Starfleet enlisted personnel, and more than one of her commanding officers attempted to convince her to apply for a commission.
