I don't know her work history, but I can easily speculate innocuous reasons why her name could be on a patent.
1/ A previous employer may have filed it on her work. There doesn't need to be any specific agency or effort on her party to do so.
2/ In her early career, when patent trolls were not so prevalent, she might not have considered patents to be a bad thing. Her current thoughts on patents might be quite different.
