Here’s what I have been doing this week:
Monday: I held surgeries at The Ripple Project, SPACE, and Portobello Library. I also met with Burcu Demirdoven, a master degree student from Turkey, to talk about her thesis on female leadership in Turkey and Scotland.
Tuesday: I attended a special meeting for the Economy, Fair Jobs, and Work committee.
Wednesday: I attended a Finance and Constitution committee meeting. In the afternoon, I met with a few constituents.
Thursday: I was interviewed by Dr Martin Kessler, Political Editor of the Rheinische Post. I also delivered a speech in chambers advocating for the proposed budget. See my full speech here.
Friday: I met with A.C. Whyte and Co to discuss implications of the budget announcement on the energy efficiency sector. I was also interviewed by Professor at the University of Edinburgh James Mitchell for a research project on the SNP and Greens.
