She has commanded three Army Education Centres in Catterick in 2003-2005, and one of the British Army’s two education delivery units, ETS(North), from 2016-2018.

On promotion to Colonel and to the General Staff, her first assignment was as Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff Education and ETS Branch Colonel. She then studied Hebrew at the Defence Academy for six months before attending the 49th Israeli National Defence College in preparation for her role as the United Kingdom’s Defence Attaché to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
