She started work as an admin assistant and gained many promotions over time. She was an Operations Manager in charge of all the Job Centres across Aberdeenshire, Moray, Orkney and Shetland before moving into District Roles within the North of Scotland where she was responsible for implementing any Welfare Reforms introduced by the Government.
