With an extensive background in finance and credit control at organisations such as Scottish and Newcastle, Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, and City of Edinburgh Council, Louise has worked as a compliance officer with teams administering the Scottish Government’s Equalities and Human Rights funding streams since 2015.
Closely involved with the implementation of customer relationship management systems and staff wellbeing initiatives, Louise loves helping projects make a difference to people’s lives. Passionate about equalities, child poverty and mental health issues in young people, Louise also feels strongly about the eradication of hate crime and sectarianism.
Outside of work Louise is an active community volunteer and loves long coastal walks with my friends putting the world to rights. She can also be found cheering on Hearts (although not always successfully) at weekends with her dad and sons.
