Keryn and her husband pioneered grid-connected solar energy on the Sunshine Coast, transforming their electrical contracting business into a solar success story. Their efforts, in partnership with a local community group, helped the Caloundra postcode lead the country in solar uptake for several years.
Keryn’s hands-on energy doesn’t stop there: she’s been a local councillor, volunteered with food rescue, refugee, environment, and disability groups, and helped farmers rebuild fences after bushfires. She’s led community consultations, chaired the council’s Waste Taskforce and organised large local events.
She’s a director of the Environmental Legacy Foundation, where she continues to champion sustainability and community well-being.
