In 2005, she joined Crossroads Care as Executive Officer. Here, she played a role in senior management, overseeing organisational compliance with the Regulation of Care Act for both children's and adult services. Further, she supported board governance, developed new policy frameworks and led projects involving diversifying funding streams. Her work built strong relationships across internal teams and external stakeholders.
Next, Libreri served as a Board Member for the Council of Voluntary Organisations Isle of Man from 2011 to 2017. In this voluntary role, she focused on the interests of the third sector and worked with statutory agencies to ensure non-profit voices were heard in shaping community policy.
In 2018, Libreri transitioned to the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC) as a Gambling Inspector. There, she conducted compliance assessments and developed expertise in online gambling regulations. In 2020, she became the Commission’s Legislation and Policy Specialist, where she worked with senior leaders to draft and maintain regulatory policy, represent the GSC internationally and support legislative alignment.
By 2023, she was promoted to Senior Inspector for AML/CFT Inspections, supervising licensed entities for financial crime risk.
