Before joining Scran, I worked as Training Manager at North Edinburgh Childcare for 26 years. Prior to that, I was a drugs worker in Leith. My background is in Community Education, and I completed a BA in the subject, alongside a wide range of youth and community work with different age groups.

What excited me about coming to Scran was seeing the amazing work being done and the opportunity to make a real difference. I was drawn to the chance to deliver programmes that are unique, impactful, and focused on a target group I truly enjoy working with. In this role, I feel I can make the most of all my skills and experience.

At Scran, I’m Head of Youth Programmes, overseeing the delivery of all youth-based programmes. I ensure high-quality delivery while maintaining compliance with SQA standards and funding requirements.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about scuba diving, which is my greatest love. I’m an Advanced Open Water diver and have completed extensive training, with all my holidays planned around the best diving spots. I often joke that I consider myself a mermaid now. I also love karaoke and never pass up the chance for a singalong.
