Ember here- you may have seen me around the Open Collective space, as I've been wearing many different hats in the OC Constellation, from support triage in Open Collective Inc to operations and HR at Open Collective Foundation and expense-processing at Open Source Collective. And now I'm your handy dandy OCNZ admin! So you'll see me processing expenses and incoming funds, answering your questions and fielding prospective collectives.
I'm based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara though originally from the States, I use they/them pronouns, I am a sleepy parent of an awesome young kid, and I love a walk when the weather's nice. But most importantly for you, I'm VERY enthusiastic about Open Collective and hopeful about the potential for OCNZ to be of service to even more people doing cool stuff in Aotearoa.
Feel free to reach me at [email protected] or through any of the channels you were using previously to contact OCNZ, and I'm pleased to make your acquaintance and excited to support your awesome mahi. Don't forget to tell your friends about OCNZ!
Kia ora Ember, I had the privilege to get to know you over the last month's and shout out to all the Collective's out there, Ember is an amazing supporter, collaborator and human, living the spirit of community empowerment. It is also time to say farewell, after an exiting journey with OCNZ I am heading of back to Germany in a week. Thank you very much Alanna for all your Trust and Support. I am excited to see from the distance how things are developing here in Aotearoa. Also a big thank you to all the Collectives and humans who made this work such a pleasure. Aotearoa, you became my second home and I would love to see you thriving through the power of all these amazing Communities across the country.
