<p>From July 2018 until October 2023, I was a Community Manager for Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow. Posts created on this account during that time are a combination of both my official work and my personal opinions about how this platform works or could work.</p>
<p>While I wish I could have continued my time here, that was out of my hands when I was laid off with 28% of the company. I wish the best to my fellow CMs and I hope they're able to continue doing the best they can - as they already were. This is a wonderful place and there's so much potential if we can all work towards it together.</p>
<p>Prior to my time as a CM, I was a moderator on two of the network sites - Interpersonal Skills and Arts &amp; Crafts, both of which I supported from their launch dates until I was hired.</p>
<p>I have a degree in Radio-TV-Film and used to work in the film industry, mostly doing casting. Before that, I was a voice major, so I know how to make myself heard in loud places.</p>
<p>The small creatures in my profile image are my sons, Bennett (big) and August (little), and my hippo... Hippo (he's the grey one).</p>
<p>I've attempted a fair number of crafts from jewelry making to crochet and I also love to bake and cook... but mostly bake.</p>
