How to deal with someone not directly in your team but you need to work with a lot and is playing politics? She is senior to me and we haven't had friction before, but she has started being antagonistic towards me, trying to make me look bad, pin blame for things I am not responsible for. She is close friends with the person I report to, who suggested bonding with her. I find her highly immature but am flabbergasted by her behavior. What could be the reason she is acting like this?

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?
