Sanya Weathers’s Experience
-
Director of Community
GamerDNA
(Computer Games industry)
July 2007 — Present (1 year 3 months)
I'm helping to build a top quality social network for gamers - the first place people will go to make connections, find communities, and learn more about their favorite lifestyles... er, hobbies.

Freelance Writer, Ghostwriter, Community Consultant, and all around Scribe-For-Hire
Self-employed
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Computer Games industry)
April 2007 — Present (1 year 6 months)
-
Director of Community Relations
EA Mythic
(Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; Computer Games industry)
June 2001 — April 2007 (5 years 11 months)
A little CS, a little Marketing, a little player Ombudsman, and a whole lot of elbow grease.
I designed feedback metrics, the community website, a communication style, buzz-building guild betas, and more. -
Freelance Writer,
Self-employed
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Entertainment industry)
May 1998 — June 2001 (3 years 2 months)
Professional clips are available from New River Valley Newspapers, the Washington Post, and more. I also wrote one of the funniest, most profane gamer commentary sites online - a fact that used to haunt me, and now vaguely amuses me.
-
Marketing Coordinator
CTAM
(Non-Profit; 11-50 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)
September 1999 — September 2000 (1 year 1 month)
CTAM (Cable and Telecommunications Association For Marketing) is a non-profit association for cable marketing professionals.
I was in charge of coordinating speakers at the conferences we ran, selling rack space at those conferences for publications, and coming up with clever brochure copy. -
Transcript Assistant
Virginia Tech
(Educational Institution; 1001-5000 employees; Information Services industry)
November 1997 — March 1999 (1 year 5 months)
Processed confidential student records, and managed/organized archives dating back to 1912.
-
Development Assistant
Mill Mountain Theater
(Non-Profit; 51-200 employees; Performing Arts industry)
September 1996 — July 1997 (11 months)
Managed the donor database, assisted in direct mail campaigns, and herded cats for fund-raising auctions.
-
Stage Manager
Northern Lights Playhouse
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Performing Arts industry)
May 1996 — September 1996 (5 months)
Ah, summer stock theater. In this position, I oversaw all of the details for a thirty member company of actors and technicians, including but not limited to scheduling, building, living arrangements, and budgeting. I was also responsible for overseeing all details of seven separate production performed in repertory, from props to lights to music to cleaning the mildew off the canvas sides of the semi-permanent house.
The whole experience almost beat the summer stock job I had where horses were part of the cast and people threw flaming torches at my head. But not quite.
