Throughout her diplomatic career, she has served in various capacities such as Special Assistant in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Consular Officer in Islamabad, and Cultural Officer in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.

From 2009-2011, the diplomat was posted as a Political and Economic Counsellor in Libya, as the bilateral relationship was normalising after a nearly 30-year pause. She remained in Libya until the Libyan Revolution forced the US Embassy to evacuate in February 2011.

Furthermore, Baker has also performed her duties as Deputy Chief and Chargé d’Affaires of the US Mission to Libya; Deputy Director of the Iran Regional Presence Office at the US Consulate in Dubai; and Economic Counsellor at the US Embassy in Kuwait where she worked with the Department of Defence to support the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq.
