Research
Kelly joined the Centre for Post Graduate Nursing Studies and Māori Indigenous Health Institute in November 2021, bringing her experience as a senior registered nurse with over 20 years' experience working in a variety of health settings, including District Health Boards in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin and Christchurch.
She has extensive experience working in community and clinical health settings with medical, surgical, neurology, public health and mental health inpatient work. Kelly has divided her nursing experience between secondary health care settings and primary hauora Māori community organisations situated all over New Zealand.
Kelly affiliates to most Marae on the Horomaka including Ōnuku, Koukourarata, Rapaki, Wairewa, Taumutu and Tūāhuriri, also to Waihao in Morven and Takahanga Marae in Kaikoura. Her cultural connections are her rongoā and she instils this, alongside her tāne Rihari Taratoa-Bannister, of Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāi Te Rangi affiliation, to their five tamariki.
