So, the fruits of my labours for the past 8 years in this industry are to have a convincing enough CV to nudge my way into the VES (well it happened back in November… I’m a bit late with this post).
There are quite a few names on the list of members that deserve a lot of respect, so I’m very pleased to be a part of it.
