Ferinica is committed to ensuring that the voice of uri is heard and that open, inclusive and collaborative conversations are encouraged. She believes that the way to navigate forward is through the collective development of strategic plans that define our actions, goals and aspirations.

Ferinica brings with her vast experience gained from her role as Director of Foreman Shearing Ltd, Māori business studies, chair and member on various hapū, reserve and council committees. Her strength comes from her tūpuna, her drive from her whānau, hapū and iwi and her passion for the mokopuna yet to be born.
