What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?
One never thinks that one deserves this level of approbation and being granted a Fellowship was a complete shock, but it makes me proud of my contribution to what is still a blossoming profession. I only hope to live up to it.
What's your best memory from attending an APMP event?
My first US Conference - coming into the main conference hall and seeing so many people and the exciting audio-visual displays - made me feel we'd grown up!
What advice do you have for a proposal professional entering our field?
Never hesitate to ask for help from your colleagues and others in the profession. I've always found a huge well of encouragement and expertise ready to be generously given.
