This was back in 13, maybe time has changed her mind!

EDIT: Never mind. Got the date when she gave this interview wrong. Shame too, really would've loves her as Captain!

 

[Terok Nor]

She'd be amazing as a Starfleet captain.

 

[SiddFinch1]

There are always possibilities

 

[ELURIA]

Damn, she'd be great. Maybe a recurring role then

Erm... Hello? Sisko anyone?
I know, technically, a station commander first and starship captain second but still...
Do your research next time!

 

[Destructor]

Lot's of people could play the same role, though. Gina Torres springs immediately to mind.

Hello, the Captain of the Saratoga (Madge Sinclair) in TVH. Predates Sisko by some years.
