Why would you like to be elected to the role(s) you are standing for?
I have only recently moved to the city and it has been a huge perspective shift. I come from Moray originally and there is nowhere near the level of opportunity or community back home. This shocking contrast has really inspired me to get involved and take part in my commuinity where the opportunity wasnt available previously. I've always felt strongly about social issues but lacked the knowledge or direction to do anything about it. Now that I have this abundance of chances to do good locally and support those struggling much like I have I want to do so and a role within the green party represents a real, managable way to take action and develop my skills with others to look to for that much needed sense of organisation.
What skills, knowledge and life experience would you bring to the role(s) you are standing for?
I believe between my growing up as someone effected by many of the social causes relevant to this party and my extensive practical skills I'm in a unique postion to fulfill my role exceptionally. In my career as a support worker I've developed strong ability to communicate with individuals of all abilities and interests as well as gained valuable experience creating written communications that are detailed and accessible such that professionals and families can make use of it. I have worked with teams to provide the highest quality of care under high pressure and often without the desirable amount of resources, this skill easily translates into other areas where I am now confident in my ability to manage high stress situations of all kinds.
