Community Manager, graduated in Chemical Engineering, but almost future astronomer. Passionate about the power of unique experiences, human connections and education. I've worked with women's empowerment in Peru with AIESEC, I'm a volunteer leader and director at CISV and I was a co-founder of the startup "Flow | School for life". I was able to see the power of collective transformation and I learned about managing projects, people and communities. In these past (almost) 5 years working professionally with ​​communities, I was also able to create bridges with the areas of marketing, branding, product, content and innovation. The focus for me is finding the match between the interests of all stakeholders in a community working on culture and engagement, through building experiences, promoting connections and learning and always measuring success through data analysis and metrics. My best skills are critical analysis, problem solving and creating new projects/processes based on data, as well as facilitating connections.

I am Rosanna Lopes, a dedicated community co-creator and nurturer with a rich background in affiliate marketing and a deep passion for building meaningful connections. My journey into community work began with my extensive experience as an Affiliate Marketing Manager, a role that honed my skills in relationship and partnership-based marketing. This experience taught me the importance of building lasting relationships and creating win-win opportunities, a skill I now bring to community co-creation and nurturing. One of my most significant milestones was co-founding and growing the Lisbon Digital Nomads meetup group, which attracted over 20,000 members on Meetup.com and hosted weekly events with over 200 attendees during the summer. This endeavor not only solidified my understanding of community dynamics but also fueled my passion for creating spaces where people can connect and thrive. I am passionate about intentional communities and have visited several, including Tamera in Portugal, where I completed their month-long Community Course, Piracanga in Brazil, and various communities in Mexico. These experiences have deepened my understanding of living in harmony with nature and each other, and they continually inspire my work. I've extensively trained myself on the topics of relating and community, and I've completed courses such as "Working with Conflict in Community" "Systems change" "Community building" etc. These courses have equipped me with tools that are essential for nurturing resilient and cohesive communities. I was born into two cultures, Dutch and Portuguese. I've lived for 4 years in Barcelona, 4 in London, and have been nomadicly for nearly a decade. I have a keen interest in cultures and sub-cultures and am very curious to our different views on what "Normal" means. I believe this helps me in the way that I work and approach people. My unique skills include creating and nurturing opportunities, event planning, promoting initiatives, and partnership marketing and I have a keen sensitivity to group dynamics, allowing me to adjust and respond effectively. I excel at bringing people together, online and offline, and fostering a sense of belonging. I can help where others might struggle by leveraging my diverse background to bridge gaps between individuals and groups, facilitating clear communication, and nurturing a supportive environment. I am committed to helping businesses and organizations create thriving, inclusive communities where everyone feels valued and connected. Let's work together to build communities that are not only successful but also deeply fulfilling and transformative for all involved.

I have a deep understanding of internet message boards and trends across various social media websites. I'm also happy to say that I have strong writing, editing, and public communication skills perfect for diverse global audiences. I'm adept at working in high-pressure environments with strict deadlines and multiple deliverables. I'm open to remote, hybrid, or in-person roles, and am open to relocation if needed. I originally graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.S. in International Relations and Politics, but I eventually discovered that my true passion lay elsewhere. I've been a volunteer moderator for various communities across Reddit, Discord, Twitch, YouTube, and other sites for the last 12 years. Eventually, I realized that I was really good at building and managing communities, and decided to pursue it as a career. Over the last few years, I've helped manage communities for companies such as Stack Overflow, Wizards of the Coast (specifically D&D Beyond), and Rooster Teeth Productions. I look forward to seeing where my career takes me next!

Hi there, I'm Jona 👋 🌻 I'm all about creating lively and welcoming developer communities, and I'm a big advocate for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Throughout my career, I've been dedicated to encouraging collaboration and engagement, making spaces where people can freely share their knowledge and ideas. I specialize in developing and implementing effective community strategies. This includes organizing large-scale events that bring folks together and coordinating various projects and initiatives. I'm passionate about empowering individuals to contribute and thrive in an open and supportive environment. One of my strengths is in creating ambassador programs that amplify community voices and create a network of passionate advocates. These programs not only enhance community outreach but also contribute to the growth and sustainability of the ecosystem. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are at the core of my values. I actively engage in DEI discussions and initiatives within the tech community, fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. Through my work, I aim to break down barriers and create opportunities for underrepresented groups to thrive in the world of technology. Event planning is another area where I bring my expertise. Whether it's a small, focused meetup or a large-scale conference, I approach every detail thoughtfully to ensure a positive and enriching experience for all participants. If you're searching for someone genuinely passionate about fostering developer communities, committed to FOSS principles, and with a proven track record in community strategy, ambassador programs, mentorship, DEI, and event planning, then I'm thrilled to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your organization. Let's create something amazing together! 🌻

I'm an experienced content marketer and copywriter with a decade in various roles, including in-house, agency, and consulting, primarily in consumer/B2B tech. My infatuation with communities started back in late 2020 when I was a fractional content lead at House of Wise (an affiliate-led DTC brand). I helped amplify the stories of members through written content, a newsletter, and a Clubhouse audio series interviewing high-achieving women and founders throughout the following year. I continued to build a strong network and made connections during my consulting years as DTC Mom. After encouragement from a few former clients turned friends, I founded a women's e-commerce Slack community with 70 members (and counting!). I currently lead marketing and partnerships for an e-commerce SaaS company but looking to be in a full-time community role. I'm a lifelong super-connector, writer, storyteller, and Enneagram nerd with an infectious personality. I keep the #random channel lively but stay organized, championing those working with me.

With over 15 years experience, I provide leadership and mentoring to community teams, to bring their community to a higher level. Strategy & programs, metrics and reporting, influential communications - we build holistic connections across the business, identifying where a community can provide deeper value and impact for the business and community members. We prove impact with data. Always learning, I have a diverse and broad toolkit to offer; Design Thinking, CX certified, ICF certified professional/personal coach. I build safe spaces for teams where they can be themselves fully, where we challenge each other, grow and create significant impact; 1 + 1 = 3 when you do it well! I have spoken on various community topics at TSIA, Dreamforce, CMX, and other conferences.

As a seasoned community leader with a rich tapestry of experiences, I bring a unique blend of passion, expertise, and innovation to every endeavor. My journey began over eight years ago within the vibrant ecosystem of WordPress, where I immersed myself in the community, eagerly contributing and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. Through dedication and collaboration, I quickly rose to the role of a trusted community leader, where I fostered engagement, facilitated learning, and championed inclusivity. During my tenure at GoDaddy, spanning four impactful years, I honed my skills as a community builder and creator, leveraging technology and human connection to cultivate thriving online spaces. Whether crafting engaging content, hosting interactive events, or spearheading initiatives to empower users, I consistently sought innovative ways to elevate the community experience. One of my proudest accomplishments includes my role as a lead contributor for WordCamp US, where I played a pivotal role in shaping the largest annual gathering of WordPress enthusiasts. Through strategic planning, meticulous organization, and unwavering dedication, I helped create an environment where thousands of attendees could learn, network, and be inspired. Fueling my passion is an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my skill set and stay at the forefront of industry trends. Whether mastering new technologies, exploring emerging platforms, or delving into the intricacies of community dynamics, I thrive on the challenges of continuous growth and evolution. What sets me apart is not just my extensive experience or technical prowess, but my innate ability to empathize, connect, and inspire. I understand that communities are built on trust, authenticity, and meaningful interactions, and I am committed to fostering environments where every voice is heard and valued. With my diverse background, unwavering dedication, and proven track record of success, I am confident in my ability to make a significant impact wherever I go. Whether it's nurturing existing communities, cultivating new ones, or pushing the boundaries of what's possible, I am poised to deliver results that exceed expectations and drive meaningful change.

I'm a passionate community builder who believes in the power of connection, shared experiences, and growth. My journey in community-building started when I returned to the US after an adventurous stint in South America, deeply inspired by my exploration and learning. I realized that the stories of my travels were best understood by fellow adventurers, sparking my mission to create travel communities. I co-built and scaled the DFW Chapter of CouchSurfing, where over 80 enthusiasts gathered weekly to share their wanderlust. In 2013, I joined an online community of solo female travelers, helping it grow to over 400,000 women by 2019. My background in education and passion for community-building converged with a focus on relationships and conflict resolution. I enthusiastically grab onto opportunities that allow me to build communities, strategize about the way forward, geek out about conflict resolution and psychology concepts, and empathize and rally around the heroic efforts our teachers bring to their classrooms, schools, and districts every day. The tie that binds these qualities together can be summed up in one word; relationships. My academic background in Political Science and International Relations (BA) and International Conflict Resolution (MA) fuels my curiosity and global perspective. I'm an adventurer at heart, a hobby photographer, and an advocate for cultural competency, diversity, and inclusion. Now, as a Community Strategist, I've leveraged data, technology, and innovation to earn the Community Industry Award for Best Growth Marketing Community in 2023.
