TL; DR: this week marks 10 years for me doing what I love and I’m super happy about it.
Scroll for some cool photos.
I’d like to thank my family.
My mother, my beloved uncles and my magical sister.
For teaching me the value of hard work, empathy, humour and strength.
all the bonus family members who have tolerated my weirdness with wit and love.
I’d like to thank my friends.
For having my back through every wild ride I’ve put them through in the last 10 years.
For supporting me tirelessly, listening to me infodumping, helping me with every opportunity, guest spots and training days, every “explain it to me like I’m stupid” phone call.
I’d like to thank my mentor, Scotty 2 Hotty taking the chance on me, for the opportunity begin an apprenticeship.
For teaching me the value of solid academic research, additional training and writing educational material.
For giving me the tools to develop the career I hold so dear to my heart.
For every bit of kindness, love and care you ever showed me.
To Amelia, Alana, Lulu, Liv and everyone in the Artefact Store Team
Where do I start?
