Personal Profile

Elected to Council in 2003. Chair of Economic Development from 2005 to 2007, and elected as Vice Convener in 2007. I have a background in family business - I was Executive Director of Todds in Orkney. Born and bred and still living in Stromness, I am married with two children. I feel my role as a Councillor is to be the interface between the community and the Council, to help deliver community benefit and excellent services for my constituents.
