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

Hi @Former-Member,

Yes, I thought some people would! Doesn't he just! The photo in my display picture is actually a replica of the original statue by Antonio Canova that my mum got me when she visited France in 2014. I used to learn French in high school, and would love to pick up the language again in the future.

Yes, I kind of lean towards purple too! 😛 It's cool that you have both aspects to your personality - it makes you unique and special!

Would love to see you at Friday Feast tonight - Hope you can make it! 😄

Also, thank you so much for making me feel very welcome to the forums so far!

Kindest,

Amour_Et_Psyché

@Former-Member

That is absolutely stunning - it definitely does replicate the original. You should pick it up again, it really intrigues me, just the elegance that is spoken from the tip of their tongues. Although, I must say that I don't recognise too many French words but have definitely widened my vocabulary through research. I also have an interest in Latin and their history - I often find myself picking up words and phrases even if it's considered the dead language.

Thank you Amour_Et_Psyché

Glad that you are feeling welcomed and thank you too for reaching out to me.. I think I needed that.

❣

Re: Meet the moderators

Will definitely see @Former-Member -it sounds like you all get up to some mischief. I feel like I have been missing out!

We do, indeed. Who doesn't like pink and purple? The perfect combination. My whole room is basically all white and purple - but I'm not complaining.
