Meet the Atlassian Community Team
Atlassian Community Managers are here to help make your community experience the best it can be!
We answer questions, welcome new users, give high fives, moderate the community, help with technical issues, announce new community features, and always welcome your feedback and input.
Here is some more about some of the faces you might see around the community:

She leads the most outstanding community team in the biz. She loves GIFs, exclamation points, and emojis. 😍
