Why would you like to be elected to the role(s) you are standing for?
The Scottish Green Party is in the ascendancy and we have an opportunity over the next few years to cement our position as a major party in Scotland, and to win on issues in line with our values.
This will only happen if we run effective campaigns, which means increasing our membership engagement and strengthening our sub-branches. The Holyrood campaign was effective but there remains room for growth with a large proportion of our members still not engaging with our campaigns.
It's this work that I wish to contribute to.
What skills, knowledge and life experience would you bring to the role(s) you are standing for?
- I have been a full time trade union organiser since 2017 running campaigns and winning industrial action ballots, saving jobs and improving terms and conditions in the university sector.
- I am a founding member of Living Rent tenants union and have been active in its campaigns at a local and national level.
- My entire career has been as part of membership-based organisations and developing effective campaigning and democratic structures.
- I have previously been branch membership secretary in Edinburgh Greens and Edinburgh Central Labour.
