Recognition for the Advancement of Women in NDT The Advancement of Women in NDT Recognition acknowledges individuals or organizations who encourage women to enter and thrive in the field of NDT, either through creation and/or implementation of programs that provide educational or career advancement opportunities in NDT that may not otherwise be available to women, or through leading by example of how women can not only have a career in NDT, but also contribute greatly to NDT, ASNT, and creating a safer world. 2021 winner Sarah M. White is the acting group leader for the nondestructive evalu- ation (NDE) group at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). For over 22 years, White has held many roles in the NDE group, from engineer to manager. White came to this career path by chance. At the University of Florida, where she was in a master’s degree program for nuclear engineering, an NDE elective was offered. Little did she know how this one class would shape her career. NDE was an instant draw for White, incorporating experimentation, observa- tion, and communication. According to White, the variety in day-to-day work and work environments has kept NDE exciting. “There is never a dull day in NDE at LANL,” she says. White has been a part of the NDE group at LANL for 22 years. She has a master of science degree in nuclear engi- neering from the University of Florida, a bachelor of science in mechanical engi- neering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and is an ASNT NDT Level III in RT. awards & honors Jerry Fulin Each month, ME highlights selected honorees from the most recent ASNT award programs.
