I'm standing to be the Scottish Labour MSP in 2026 in Edinburgh South Western.  Scottish Labour is ambitious for Scotland.  I want to be part of that delivering that ambition.

After a career as a competition lawyer, principally in competition litigation, I've now retired from legal practice and am standing for election as a Scottish Labour MSP in next year's Holyrood elections.  I have been a Partner in a global law firm and have dealt with many of Scotland's leading businesses.

I've also been a single mother working full-time for many years whilst bringing up four children, so I understand the pressures that working parents experience. 

With public services on their knees and the SNP devoid of ideas, we need to set out our ambitious vision for change. I want to see a Scotland where young people aspire to live and work, where homegrown businesses thrive and grow and public services are second to none.
