International since the 1980s, through which she has overseen the establishment and delivery of innovative fiber optic technologies. Earlier in her career, she underwent coursework through The Light Brigade, a notable organization owned by Larry Johnson that teaches students the skills necessary to deliver knowledge of fiber optics across the globe. She is supported by over 30 years of professional experience in the industry
In preparation for her career, Col. Sifford-Griffith pursued formal education abroad at the University of Cambridge in England, studying at the acclaimed university between 1976 and 1982.

Following her studies in England, Col. Sifford-Griffith decided to pursue the field of fiber optics, having first been introduced to the industry by workers who were installing cables and leveraging the new technology in their work. Recognizing that fiber optics have been pivotal in the field of technology, she also determined that such technologies will be vital in years to come. Among the many highlights of her esteemed career, she is especially gratified by her participation in lighting a house using only fiber optics, as opposed to conventional, and often energy-wasting, sources of power.
Outside of her primary efforts, Col. Sifford-Griffith is the founder of Red Nose Day, which is celebrated every year on her birthday, May 26th. Lending her expertise and time to civic endeavors, she has been particularly proud of her work in her local community. In the coming years, she intends to place greater emphasis on her passion for natural health solutions, and she notes that natural remedies will likely become more widely accepted for patients whose other treatment modalities have failed.
