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.

I never thought I would get onto the TSP. I had to push myself out of my comfort zone to attend the assessment centres, take part in all of the activities. I continue to do so with my day job - I don't like presenting, but I do lots of it. It builds confidence and resilience. Rationalise what's the worse that could happen by trying something new, or taking on a new challenge. For me, with the assessment centre, if I didn't get accepted - so be it. I got good experience of interviewing. Met new and interesting people, and got free food from attending the assessment centre (back when they were in person). Once I told myself these things, I pushed myself out my comfort zone to attend the day. I had worked hard to get the invite, so although I wasn't confident in going and being myself, that's what I had to do and it worked out well. Take the set backs as opportunities to reflect, develop and learn from. Keep pushing through set backs and pushing yourself out of your normal comfort zone to be able to achieve the goals you set for yourself.

I think we can all feel a sense of imposter syndrome, and that inner voice saying you are not capable. You are ! I think we all need to recognise that work can be challenging and not always as straightforward as you want it to be, which is where the doubt can set it. Its all about building that resilience for me, don't give up. If you want something just keep working towards it, even if that means taking it slowly.
