Meet the moderators

Meet the moderators

Hi everyone,

As our team of moderators grow, I thought it would be good timing to create this thread so you can get to know us.

SANE Australia collaborates with organisations around Australia to provide this space. Forum moderators come from SANE and the partner organisations, bringing a variety of experiences, knowledge and backgrounds.

For those who aren't too sure what moderators do, the best way to sum it up is that we aim to ensure the community is a welcoming, productive and safe place for all.

You may see us around the place time to time. Often we lurk behind the scenes (that's not as creepy as it sounds!). We want to allow space for peers to connect with each other and believe in the power of peer to peer support.

So I will start with my introduction

I'm Nik and I'm the Community Manager at SANE Australia. My favourite colour is yellow, favourite food is avocado and could happily live on a tropical island (as long as I could watch all Manly Sea Eagles games each season).

What drives me to do this job is my strong belief in peer support and the benefits it has, and also the role technology can play in improving mental health and wellbeing.

Also.. just so you're aware.. that's not me in my profile pic

So - over to the other moderators. Perhaps you could share what organisation you're from and some random facts about yourself

Nik

I didn't answer this one @Former-Member - As power decreases - what happens to type II errors? Type II errors increase.

Hi @Former-Member

Well shucks One of my favourite ever book characters has the name Scout, she is my inspiration.

Ooosh, I’m not going to win any friends answering this one….I am a fan of Milo but I don’t drink it. Not a fan of Nutella at all

Are you studying some stats? It’s been a while since I tried my hand stats, and I’m not sure I went so advanced as to understand complex sampling, I’m glad someone else @Zoe7 kind of gets it for you :I

5 random things – My fav animal is the octopus, I am a messy person and hate cleaning, I can understand Spanish at a ‘pretty okay’ level, I love drinking peppermint tea, and am becoming a master at crocheting a chevron blanket.

5 random things:

I bought a slow cooker last Thrusday to eat more vegetables.

My dog Arlo is the most loving dog I have ever seen.

Hello @Former-Member

tell a little bit about yourself

In response to: Re: Meet the moderators

Re: Meet the moderators

Hello,

Ok so a little about me.

I work in mental health and addictions. After I had my kids I went back and studied so I could help people as its where my heart as always been. I did start studying these things back in high school and have always volunteered and worked in this industry in some form.

I am trying to keep juggling the usual stuff like work and family, never easy, but I love helping people and that is my passion.

I normally get the hand over shifts on Sane around 7am - 8am but I float around here and there.

I love reading all your posts, I think this forum is amazing the way it supports people. I will do my best to help you all along your journeys.

Take care, MummaMia
