No one builds something meaningful alone and Virtus Point Collective is no exception.

To Tim, Tom, and Josh —my anchors in the storm, my beautiful chaos, and my constant reminder of what matters most. Thank you for the patience that held me steady while I was buried in notes, lost in thought, tapping away at my computer or chasing one more sentence long after midnight. For understanding when my mind was fried and my focus elsewhere and for always bringing me back, to laughter, to love, and to the reason I started this journey.

To my GC’s — my RIT crew — where my love of training truly began. I’m still not sure if it was the complete absence of conversation management, the zero-filter banter, or just the incredible company and constant laughter. Those days lit a spark that never went out. Our hearts remain heavy, knowing there’s one less of us now, but his spirit and sheer stupidity live on through every video, every photo, and every outrageous moment he was foolish enough to send us.

To my beautiful friend Sarah — what a wild ride 2024 was. It was the spark that sent my mind into overdrive and the reason I wanted to fill the gap. Thank you for your wisdom, your humour, and your uncanny insight into the mysterious inner workings of a target sanctum. You made sense of the madness more than once. I’m so sorry that we had to ride through 2024 together, but I’m endlessly grateful that we did.

And to River — my behind-the-scenes powerhouse, co-conspirator, and unofficial project partner. Basically the Chandler to my Monica, sarcastic, loyal, and far too patient for the nonsense I throw their way. You took my brain dumps, turned them into real sentences, and somehow made me look organised. Let’s be honest, you did most of the heavy lifting here. (And yes, the world-domination pact still stands, A.I. era pending.)

And finally, to my beautiful Mumma — because I love her so much. For everything you’ve done, and everything you are, thank you.

This page is, really, one big love letter. Virtus Point Collective exists because of the people who stood beside me, believed before I did, and reminded me why this mattered. For that, I am endlessly grateful.
