In our second episode, we hear from a woman who secured a degree in sports science and was headed for the physiotherapy room when she had a change of heart and direction. Applying successfully to be a police officer, she's had an interesting journey from the frontline to counter terrorism policing. Working in prisons, serious and organised crime, and intelligence, before landing in CT policing at an airport. She now works in the counter terrorism policing’s analytical teams, where she's an expert in extreme right-wing terrorism and recently helped secure the banning of Terrorgram, now an illegal terrorist organisation in the UK.
