Hey everybody! I'm u/cleeaur, and I'm joining the Mod Events team!

Oh em gee, could it be? Another admin joining thee?

Bear with me, I’m new here.

Hi everybody! I’m cleeaur, another admin you might have encountered alongside u/aparapato in programs like The Incubator or Partner Communities. I’m so excited to say that I, too, am joining the Mod Events team! (u/big-slay is really collecting us all like infinity stones)

In case this is your first time (virtually) meeting me, here are some fun facts!

  • I lost my first tooth in the movie theater watching Pirates of the Caribbean.
  • I'm also a mod-turned-admin! I became so active in a subreddit for my favorite TV show that I was recruited to be a moderator 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve been moderating across 5 different communities!
  • I’m addicted to r/ColorPuzzleGame. If you haven’t tried it before, I beg you. It’s the highlight of my day when a new one drops.
  • My favorite part of working for Reddit is being able to spend my days directly talking to mods and mod teams, so don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I love learning from you all.

 

And, per usual around Reddit, I will go ahead and pay the cat tax. Here is my beloved son, Merlin. He might be 13 years old, but I promise, he’s just a boy at heart. He loves spooning, destroying toilet paper, and eating Taco Bell nacho fries:
