Williams also served as Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Mission in Iraq (2016-2017), in Jordan (2013-2015) and in Bahrain (2010-2013). As well as at the US Embassies in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Pakistan. In Washington, she worked as the Jordan Desk Officer, the Deputy Director of Egypt and Levant Affairs, and the Director of the Maghreb Office.

She graduated with honours from the University of Maryland in 1987 with a double degree in Economics and Government Relations.
