It is with sadness that I would like to formally announce my resignation from the Scottish Youth Parliament. It has been a pleasure representing Inverclyde since 2021. Thank you for all of your unwavering support, I couldn’t have achieved nearly as much without it. ♥️ 1/3

I would like to use this space to address any concerns/rumours regarding my resignation. It is unrelated to any ongoing investigations and is purely down to a personal choice. 3/3

Representing the area as both an MSYP & Convenors Trustee has been an amazing & rewarding experience. I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to learn and advocate for what I believe in, whilst also advocating on behalf of Scottish young people from across the country. 2/3

A fantastic victory for Inverclyde 🌟
🚨INVERCLYDE COUNCIL AGREE TO YOUNG PEOPLE’S DEMANDS🚨 This week, Inverclyde Council announced a new Young Person’s Forum which will feed directly into the Education Committee. This is a major victory which I have been working towards since my election last year. 🧵

I absolutely welcome this increase and think it’s a great step in the right direction. I have no criticism for the increase itself, only for the general disparity between young people under the age of 21 and those over. Feel free to leave your thoughts on this below 😌

It was a pleasure to be there! (I promise I was NOT sleeping, despite how it looks)
Delighted to welcome delegates to @scotparl for the 11th Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians British Islands and Mediterranean Regional Conference. We discussed how parliaments can become more inclusive, childcare, social media, parliamentary business and more @CWP_Int @CPA_BIMR

I have received several messages from young people about the current traffic deadlock in Greenock & across Inverclyde. Buses to Uni and College being held up as well as Driving Lessons becoming pointless due to being stuck in traffic. Not good.

I recently wrote an article for @youngwomenscot sharing my thoughts & experience of Imposter Syndrome within the workplace. If you have a spare 5 minutes, I’d strongly urge you to give it a read. 😊 lnkd.in/ecVrDMYc

Morning all! I’m currently on my way to Glasgow to meet with Jamie, the Chief Exec of @OfficialSYP to discuss the finance & risk of our charity, as part of the Finance & Audit committee. I’m making sure to take full advantage of the Free Bus Travel for under 22’s too 😊

btw, to everyone who asks why black history month is celebrated, and who argues that the UK is no longer racist, the controversy regarding the @BootsUK Christmas ad is EXACTLY why it’s important. Utterly shocking.

Tonight is Bonfire Night and its important to plan ahead, be mindful of others, and ensure a safe night for all. There are several precautions that should be taken and the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service have specific guidance and useful tips: ow.ly/M6tm50TT75U
