The Member we would like to spotlight this time is TarValon.Net’s very own Graphic Goddess! That’s right, Siera al'Cere has been serving in several different graphic-related capacities throughout her membership and she has proved herself as an amazing designer!
In her everyday job, Siera is indeed a Graphic Designer for Home Hardware in Canada. This has been a dream job for her for a long time. However back in the day, she used to want to become a veterinarian! Siera loves animals and has two dogs (Allie and Finn) and two cats (Harley and Jax).
In her spare time, Siera likes to write for fun and play video games. In the summer she is scuba diving, and in the winter she watches hockey games. She has a nephew and a niece, who she loves; and because they live nearby, she gets to play with them often.
Siera began reading The Wheel of Time at 14 after a friend’s recommendation, and later both of them joined TarValon.Net together. During her Novice days, Siera says she spent some time spamming with her fellow Junior Members and making friends.
After getting raised to Accepted and Guesting with the Gray Ajah, she knew that it felt like home and stuck around! Coming up at her 10th anniversary as a Gray Ajah Aes Sedai, Siera has served as a Head and Sitter and in multiple Heart terms, earning her the Group Pride merit.
Siera has also served in many other positions. She is the current Outreach Activities Coordinator, a position she hesitated applying for, but in her words, “I LOVE planning events, and I’ve had a lot of fun in the events in the past.”
“I do really enjoy it,” she says. “I love seeing the themes that people come up with, and having little mini-events for people to celebrate to bring a little joy in the in-between months.” The Outreach Activities Team has already started preparing for Shaoman in the Fall, so stay tuned for more details on that!
Apart from planning events, Siera is also managing the graphics for the Department of Marketing as Marketing Project Manager, a position she held in the past, but says has changed a lot through the years. Even though she served in the position for about five years last time, her passion for Marketing led her to apply for the position again when it opened up. In her words, “It’s a bit of what I do at work, plus more and I love every second of it”
We are really glad and grateful to have Siera as part of TarValon.Net, and wish to thank her for all the amazing work she is doing for the community!
