Congratulations on winning the Brown昀椀elder of the Year award. How
did it feel to have your peers nominate you and vote unanimously for
you to win this award?
I was so surprised that I was nominated and then extremely honoured
to have CBN peers vote for me to win this award. There are so many talented individuals that work in this 昀椀eld that I was pleasantly surprised
that they recognized my work in such an esteemed way. I admire and
look up to previous Brown昀椀elders as they have contributed so much to
this industry. It is something I will treasure forever, and this award will
remain a wonderful highlight in my career.
