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

Re: Who's who in the zoo: Meet the moderators

Hi All,

I thought I would jump in an introduce myself, I am LouLouMagoo and I am one of the Moderators here at Turning Point over the weekends and nights.


I have a background in Counselling and am currently studying my Masters in Social Work but am also looking at doing a Masters in Nutrition down the track, if I am not sick of assignments by then! I have a long history in sport, sepcifically rowing but now am out of the sport but spend most days in the gym or outdoors with my wonderful dog (hence the profile pic!) and one day when I grow up I want to adopt a few rescue dogs 🙂

@LouLouMagoo Thanks for sharing 'a little of yourself' What 'kind' of counselling have you done in the past?

Re: Who's who in the zoo: Meet the moderators

Yes @LouLouMagoo - and more so being on here - seeing the worst of humanity and the strength and courage that so many have to get through each day - that in itself teaches us that it is possible to get through even when we feel we can't - learning to survive!!!

That reminds me of one of my favourite stoicism quote;

“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”
