My request for adminship was closed as successful (221/0/1) on March 1, 2025. This is a debrief of my process to get there, and some takeaways from my experience. I hope you find it informative, or at the very least, interesting. I've broken it up into five sections: not wanting to run, deciding and preparing to run, the RfA itself, reflecting on the process, and thanking people.
