Passionate about building community, she coordinates the annual Matariki Art Exhibition and supports local Art Trail initiatives. Drawing on her professional organisational and administrative experience, Keri brings dedication, efficiency, and a collaborative approach to her role as Secretary, helping to foster the collective's vision of kotahitanga and creativity.
