The following year she became an analyst with Accenture in their Finance and Performance Management team. From March 2008 to April 2010 she was a consultant within Accenture where she supported a global oil company in the redesign of their order to cash process in conjunction with the roll-out of SAP.

When interviewed by The Irish Times in May 2018, she declared "If starting a business is likely to jeopardise everything, you might want to think long and hard as to whether to do it or not. But if you can make things relatively safe and feel like you’ll always regret it if you don’t give it a try, then you really should go for it."[3]
She has participated in media broadcasting programs like "Girls Can Code" on BBC Three and The Bottom Line on BBC Radio 4.[citation needed]
