Participating in exciting projects alongside Senior Leaders and attending exciting external events like Global Government Forum where I get to hear and learn from the Senior Leaders from around the Globe

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.

Top Insider Advice

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

Always remain positive. Take the plunge once in a while and believe in yourself. Learn what you can from others. If there are any opportunities outside of your comfort zone, rise to the challenge and volunteer. You will surprise yourself, who will release the abilities that you didn’t think you had. Remain positive and focused on your goal. Consider the bigger picture, how does my role fit in within the wider goals of the business and how can you make it a great place to work. In a customer led role like mine, you can really make a difference to people’s lives. You see the negative impacts our mistakes can make and how you can work to ensure that they are not repeated, whilst improving the customer journey and the reputation of the business. You will gain positive feedback and people will look up to you.
