Born in [[Ayrshire]], Sturgeon is a law graduate of the [[University of Glasgow]]. She worked as a solicitor in Glasgow before her election to the [[Scottish Parliament]] in [[1999 Scottish Parliament election|1999]]. She served successively as the SNP's shadow minister for education, health, and justice. Sturgeon entered the [[2004 Scottish National Party leadership election|leadership of the SNP]] but later withdrew from the contest in favour of [[Alex Salmond]], standing instead as [[wiktionary:depute|depute]]<!--This is not a spelling error.--> leader on a joint ticket with Salmond. Both were subsequently elected; as Salmond was still an MP, Sturgeon led the SNP in the Scottish Parliament as [[Leader of the Opposition (Scotland)|Leader of the Opposition]] from 2004 to 2007. The SNP emerged as the largest party following the [[2007 Scottish Parliament election|2007 election]] and Salmond headed the [[First Salmond government|first SNP minority government]], with Sturgeon as his [[Deputy First Minister of Scotland|deputy]]. From 2007 to 2012, she served as [[Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing|health secretary]], overseeing the [[Prescription charges|scrapping of prescription charges]] and the [[2009 swine flu pandemic]]. Following the SNP's landslide majority in 2011, she was appointed [[Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Capital Investment and Cities]], which saw her in charge of the legislative process for the [[2014 Scottish independence referendum]]. The defeat of the [[Yes Scotland]] campaign resulted in Salmond's resignation as SNP leader.
