She has worked in various policy roles in the third and public sector, including with Children in Scotland and Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations Council (EVOC), alongside a role as the Third Sector Advisor to the Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) team at Scottish Government.
Her background is in youth work, having changed careers after gaining a degree in Immunology.
