Working in the Ministry of Defence, she designed and implemented a major transformation programme, worked as the First Sea Lord’s Head of Communications and founded the Royal Navy’s Neurodiversity Network.

Her final role was on loan to the Cabinet Office, working on evacuation operations from Afghanistan and delivering international military support to Ukraine.
