She is the recipient of numerous government, naval, and civilian honors, including the Meritorious Civilian Award and the Dr. Arthur Bisson Award for Naval Technology Achievement. She has been interviewed by national and international media, featured in the documentary film Why We Fight and the Discovery Channel's "Future Weapons" series, and profiled in Sybil Hatch's book Changing Our World: True Stories of Women Engineers.
