I am a proud working-class woman from Glasgow’s East End, recognised as a community leader and frontline campaigner.

Full statement

My career has focused on supporting society’s most vulnerable, including work in addiction support, child protection, and mental health. For the past nine years, I have founded and led a grassroots charity that has helped over 60,000 people in Glasgow, delivering essential aid and life-changing support.

My dedication to public service has been honoured with the Points of Light Award from Downing Street and a British Empire Medal (BEM) from the King. As a councillor, I am known for being accessible, responsive, and willing to challenge decisions that affect my community. I am a passionate advocate for women and girls’ safety, a defender of the NHS, and an active campaigner on the housing crisis, with experience on the IJB committee.

Above all, my proudest achievement is my two beautiful daughters. I believe in family first, and they make me proud every day.

I believe politics should be rooted in real-life experience, honesty, and accountability. My aim is to represent a compassionate, community-driven approach that delivers real results, not as a career politician, but as someone who has lived and fought through the struggles I now work to address.
