Farah worked for roughly two years as the press secretary for Pence. She later added the title of communications director.
Prior to her time in the White House, Farah worked as the spokeswoman for the House Freedom Caucus.
Farrah will become the first spokesperson in some time for the department and it will be interesting to see if transparency increases.
