Terri Hendriks

Consultant

Bachelor of Physical Education, Otago University

Sport and recreation have always been an important part of Terri’s life, always juggling multiple sports codes and positions.

After completing her degree, Terri headed to Sydney for 2 years as a Gymnastics Programme Manager for YMCA NSW. Leading one of the country’s largest gymnastics programmes, and overseeing multi-discipline facilities, Terri gained valuable insight into a wide range of community venues and their relationship structures.

Wanting to return to New Zealand, Terri worked as a Community Sport Advisor for Sport Tasman, overseeing governance and coach education programmes. She was also the lead for Pathway to Podium, a High-Performance Sport NZ initiative for pre-elite athletes.

Terri has a strong passion for community sport and regional facilities, and believes in collaboration and bold innovation.

When not working or volunteering on community boards, Terri enjoys watching movies and exploring the outdoors with her family.
