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 @Shaz51 and others,

Thank you for the lovely welcome. Three things about me are:

  • I have a lovely happy 4 year old golden retriever who is a cheeky boy and gets up to a bit of mischief but gives me a lot of love and joy.
  • I go to yoga 3-4 times a week which gives me peace and makes me feel good.
  • I try to practice mindfulness meditation daily (my mind still wanders at times during this practice but I have found it has helped a lot in various aspects of my life!).

Hi @Former-Member Welcome!

Good to hear about those positives in your life - dog, yoga and meditation - can't go wrong

I find all three super valuable too.

Re: Meet the moderators

I agree @frog

my mind still wanders too with meditation - @Former-Member

Hello @Shaz51

Thank you for the shout out, three things about me are

1. I am not new I have been round for a long time but only work part time here so you might not see me often

2. I have a dog and a cat and four children so home can be busy but I work hard to try and create some balance somewhere.

3. I love to try and help people.

Take care, MummaMia

Hi @Shaz51 - yep that's right... I know it's a lot! I'll do some poking to get some of the newer folks in here to say hi! 🙂

Re: Meet the moderators

Hi @Shaz51 and all,

I am a new moderator and have only been in the role for a few weeks. Three things about me that might be of interest to members;

-I live in a rural village with no pets, but have had cats many times over the years (or the cats had me.) Kangaroos often hang out in my back yard though especially in summer.

-I am a fan of Scandinavia and have visited there about 6 times, particularly Denmark, although it is very expensive. I have not met princess Mary (yet).

-I try to play badminton a couple of times a week. I enjoy it and am C grade at my best while sadly my backhand is E grade.

warmest greetings everyone

Whitehawk
