She is celebrated for her impressive achievements, including winning the U.S. Women's Chess Championship in two thousand twenty-one, two thousand twenty-three, two thousand twenty-four, and two thousand twenty-five.

In September two thousand nineteen, Carissa was recognized as the top-rated female chess player in the United States.
