Mae Keri wedi bod yn rhan o'n huwch-dîm rheoli ers 2012, pan ddechreuodd yn ei rôl fel Prif Swyddog cyn esgyn i swydd Pennaeth Gwasanaethau Plant a Phobl Ifanc yn 2018. Nid yw ei harweinyddiaeth “yn ddim llai nag eithriadol” yn ôl ei chydweithwyr, sy'n canmol ei natur garedig a'i hymroddiad i lesiant staff. Dan arweiniad Keri, mae ein tîm wedi sicrhau canlyniadau cadarnhaol i deuluoedd, diolch i'w phwyslais ar arferion da ym maes gwaith cymdeithasol, creu amgylchedd dysgu iach a diogel, ac annog trafodaethau agored a rheoli risg ar y cyd. Mae Keri'n sicrhau bod y systemau a'r prosesau cywir ar waith, gan wneud i'r staff deimlo'n ddiogel, hyd yn oed mewn sefyllfaoedd heriol. Mae adborth gan ein staff yn tynnu sylw at ei natur agos-atoch a chefnogol. Dywedodd un aelod o staff, “Mae Keri'n gefnogol ac yn annog cydbwysedd rhwng bywyd a gwaith er mwyn i ni allu delio â bywyd y tu allan i'r gwaith heb deimlo'n euog.” Ychwanegodd uwch-reolwr, “Mae Keri'n gosod safon uchel drwy esiampl ac mae bob amser yn chwilio am ffyrdd o roi cyfleoedd i weithwyr ddatblygu a thyfu fel ymarferwyr. Mae llais y plentyn a'r teulu yn hollbwysig iddi.” Mae ffocws Keri ar lesiant staff, datblygiad proffesiynol, a ffordd o weithredu sy'n canolbwyntio ar y plentyn wedi creu amgylchedd cefnogol.
