Career

Holmes won a National Research Council postdoctoral appointment in chemical research at the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), [2] studying nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. [3] [4] In 1985 she won an EEO Award at the NRL. [5] She was with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in the 1990s. [6]

Holmes served on the editorial review committee of the National Technical Association in 1990, [7] and was keynote speaker at the Howard University Graduate Symposium in 1997. [8]
