Bio
Brenda Romero
Sanna is an excellent, communicative, thoughtful community manager. I worked with Sanna for multiple years on a project which had its ups and its downs. At all times, Sanna was attentive to the needs of the community, kept us abreast of any concerns or desires, and provided clear, concise overviews of the overall state of community sentiment. Sanna made herself available for strategy meetings, and worked with us to develop the game community throughout its existence. I heartily recommend Sanna, and I'd hire her myself if we had a spot open.

I've been lucky to work with Sanna as one of our main freelance contractors in community management for more than 3 years. She's been an overperforming community professional, always leveraging her long experience in the field to get excellent results for our brands. She shines by her professionalism and interpersonal skills; and is generally an incredibly open, brilliant, and caring person in the team, driving people beyond herself to excel.
