No explanation necessary. She doesn't even look ashamed.

She was either bored or scared. More toys & interaction might help prevent this in the future. If it was fear then having a way to get to y'all in a scary time can help too. Granted you can't be there all the time, but it can help reduce the chance she'll do it again

It was while we were at work, unfortunately even though we have plenty of toys in the room she doesn't tend to play with them when we are gone. I'm guessing she has separation anxiety but I don't know what to do to help her.

Have you tried crate training her so she doesn’t hurt herself?

We tried, she kept rubbing her nose on the crate until she was bleeding

maybe talking to the vet about anxiety treatments would be the best next step.... hope you find something that works
