Before her election to the Scottish Parliament she was active in many roles within the community: a member of the community council and community association, chair of a parent led toddler group, and part of the school parent council. She has served as Chair of the Carrick Cumnock and Doon Valley Constituency Labour Party and was a candidate in the council elections for East Ayrshire Council in 2017.
