    Why would you like to be elected to the role(s) you are standing for?

    I joined the party in 2014, but became heavily involved in the branch and CEG sub-branch after campaigning for Jule Bandel during the 2022 council elections. I have enjoyed being on the committee, first as a Communications Ordinary Member for 2 years, and over the past year as Sub-branch and Member Support Officer.

    As SBMS Officer, Core-Campaigns Team member, and door-knocker it has been an honour to help the branch and sub-branches achieve our best ever election result. I would love to continue that work into next year's council elections.

    Were I to continue in the SBMS role I would continue to support West Lothian in becoming an operational Sub-branch. I would work on facilitating collaboration and skill-sharing between sub-branches.

    What skills, knowledge and life experience would you bring to the role(s) you are standing for?

    Over 3 years of branch committee I believe I have made valuable contributions to discussions and direction. I have demonstrated that I can organise and put in the work. For instance I have:

    • coordinated most seasons of Green News in Edinburgh over the past three years, even after leaving the Comms Working Group
    • helped West Lothian in becoming operational over the past year, including organisng canvassing sessions in Linlithgow and Livingston
    • helped establish the Central Scotland Campaign Board for the last election
    • have supported or arranged support for teams that have needed some help

    I have 29 years of experience in the software industry, including running a succesful agency for 10 years and 6 years organising an international conference.
