It has been an unbelievable journey since I started in 2016 and I have held several roles like Track marshal, Observer, Lead Track Marshal and Trainee Sector Chief. From being a team player and training to become a team leader, I have learnt many of the intricacies of running an event of such magnitude.
The journey is definitely more than what I have expected, especially meeting a warm bunch of like-minded friends that goes beyond the four days we worked together!
In 2016, I joined the event under very trying circumstances where a family member was suffering from terminal illness, hence it was a stressful and depressing time. However, being with my teammates helped to alleviate the stress. From then on, I looked forward to every edition where we got together again.
In 2019, I took up the challenge to take on the role of a trainee Sector Chief and it was rewarding. After taking on the role, I have a better understanding of what the roles entail and appreciate the role of a sector chief more. Now I look forward to doing well in my training and being able to pay it forward and be able to share knowledge with the others!
