Sannse is a Community Support Director in the Fandom Trust and Safety Team. She has been at Fandom for 16 years, but it feels more like 5 or 20 depending on the day.

After trying out a few variations of her name, she legally changed it to Sannse a few years ago. She likes having a name she chose!

History[]

Back in 2002, Sannse spent a lot of time on chat, forums and reading blogs. One of those blogs was Wil Wheaton's, which had a quick little entry saying "If you haven't wasted half a day at the Wikipedia, you haven't wasted half a day."

Well, she wasted half a day... and carried on to waste a few years. Along with making many tiny edits (mostly fixing typos and organizing the Grammy Awards pages) she also wrote (part of) a whole article, served as an admin, replied to emails for the Foundation (back when they could all be replied to by one person), helped out on the Mediation, Arbitration and Communication Committees, and learned to spend a lot of time on IRC instead of chat.

In 2006 she was invited to join Fandom (or WikiCities as it was called then) and jumped at the chance of being online all day and being paid for it. The rest of the history is, well, history.
