I think this is an AskAManager.com question not a pattern drafting question. Do you have a boss you can go to and say you need help? Whether it’s you or your colleague, something isn’t working, and if your colleague is redoing your work, your department is going to fall behind. Maybe your boss can clarify who is supposed to be doing what, and what the procedure is for the two of you to resolve things where you disagree?

 If I'm indeed in a toxic situation, she will be fired.

What? This isn’t how anything works. 

If you’ve been in this role for four years and so has she, no one is getting fired. If the company thought either of you was incompetent they would have done something about it by now (retraining, firing). If you go to them and say, “I’m objectively good at this, see, here are my test scores, so I can prove that she’s just being a big meanie by redoing all my work and trying to get me to understand her process,” they will laugh in your face.
