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

Hello @dragonflygirl and welcome to our little community (actually it is getting quite large lol)

Thought I would direct you here to introduce yourself to everyone - when you have time.

...I'm just happy to have another little flying bug in the forum - we flying bugs are pretty special (even those of us that are scared of heights lol)

Hi @Zoe7, thanks for your welcome here. I have loved all your supportive posts today. I am from Flourish Australia and we moderate lunchtimes through the working week for 2 hours (a different person each day), so please excuse us if we post something then are gone again. It is so great to see the incredible support and positivity. We are primarily in the background to encourage forum members to interact rather than take any central role, but we are behind the scenes championing and feeling the highs and lows and believing in the process of connection.

So glad to join the bugs club with you @Zoe7. I think butterflies and dragonflies (and other bugs) are most sensitive to environmental changes and are almost magical. My dragonfly picture is a NZ dragonfly because I am from NZ, been in Oz for 2 years now, and very happy here in this pretty special country (as is NZ in a different way). I find the summers very hot and need water to keep cool, hence I love swimming. I'm always looking out for snakes when I walk but am comforted by the fact that very few people die from snakes. Your great whites are a bit scary too but I love the numerous rock pools, they are mind blowing to me, I love them!

See you again here next Tuesday. Take care everybody...

Re: Meet the moderators

One hour, two hours, everyday @dragonflygirl time doesn't matter here in forumland - once you are part of the 'family' you are stuck with us no matter how often or for how long you are here

'See' you next Tuesday (I'll have to check my calendar - oh wait - no I don't - I don't have a life lol)

Welcome little dragonfly to the wonderful world (being sarcastic now) that is my BUGger of a world LOL
