Kerry has an incredible ability to translate and communicate with different stakeholders from the board room to young people that she works with. Her genuine passion for improving the lives of the people she works with is evident in her willingness to spend time with young people. Kerry is passionate about creating opportunities for young people from introducing young people to become the board of directors of the organisation to giving young people a chance to speak at various events she's invited to speak at. Her vision is contagious and she has a way at empowering change from the bottom line. I look forward to future collaborations with Kerry.
