Wendy Cross
Business Manager
My role at Rātā Foundation as a Community Engagement Advisor is collaborating with key community organisations and stakeholders, building and nurturing strong relationships, and communicating our funding priorities and criteria.
Through the lens of a nurturer of two beautiful lives. The offspring of loving, influential parents. The youngest of two supportive siblings. A fiercely loyal partner and friend. An active contributing member of the Christchurch Pacific Community. An emigrant and proud daughter of Samoa. An avid sports enthusiast and a branch of our Rātā organisation.
Matala's role at Rātā Foundation enables her to use the core values instilled in her through family morals, cultural awareness, her belief in God, and her life work of building and embracing honest and transparent relationships. These qualities are evident predominantly through her service, drive, and passion to work alongside our Pacific communities within our Rātā regions.
