Greatest achievements
I’m proud to have led the Private Office through a period of uncertainty during the transition between Deputy Directors—a time that required resilience, clarity, and steady leadership. Still, my greatest achievement always feels just around the corner, as HMRC continues to offer exciting development opportunities. Most recently, I’ve been selected for the Achieving Your Potential pilot for future leaders and the prestigious Management Development Program. I’ve also been chosen to represent HMRC as an ambassador—an honour that reflects my continued commitment and future potential within the organisation.

Look for opportunities to build your skills, develop your talents and reach your potential. Sounds very wordy but learning is a lifelong journey and we never know everything I have found that trying something different has kept me happier at work and given me a sense of self satisfaction. It doesn't have to be work related it can include learning any new skill from sewing to pottery. At the moment I am currently spending 30 minutes a week completing learning around marketing and social media which is providing me with skills to better understand my role and that roles around me.

Top Insider Advice
My one piece of advice is “Be-Honest” If you require any reasonable adjustments or assistance, “be honest” in your job application. “Be honest” in your training. If you don’t understand something, then speak up. If you need something to be explained again, “be honest” and say you didn’t understand. “Be Honest” with your aspirations, aims, goals for your career, there are many opportunities which may be applicable for you. “Be Honest” with yourself and keep your work/life balance right for you. My experience - I have been honest about my dyslexia. I have received additional help and support throughout my entire HMRC experience. I learnt an enormous amount about myself during "Coping strategy sessions" which allowed me to be more honest with myself and my manager. Finally, don’t be scared to question things.
