She is also the only bassoon soloist ever featured at the Smithsonian Institution's "Art of the Virtuosi" and "The Concert Experience".

Her critically-acclaimed performances of Mozart's "Bassoon Concerto" have been broadcast on three continents by PBS, Radio Nacional de España, and Radio Nacional de Venezuela, and she appeared on CBS This Morning. During of her tours of Spain and Africa, she was featured on Radio Nacional de España, and was the first bassoonist to have the Voice of America broadcast a recital worldwide.
