Hello Team ESR, I am excited and nervous all in one. I am excited to be a part of this, and see how I can challenge myself to ensure a safer and better future for all of us. Good luck everyone, and any pointers for me would be much appreciated. This is my first time doing this, so a little nervous, but lots of excitement. Peace
