Katharina Keays
Vivacious Community Builder
AKA Ambassador
Of Buzz &Community Connections
Vivacious;
A vivacious person is lively and spirited. Some people are just naturally fun to be around; they sparkle, they animate any group they're part of, they're full of life. That, in fact, is the root meaning of the word: it's from Latin vivere "to live." It has more of a sense of playfulness than lively or animated. Even the most sedentary slob can feel revitalized in the presence of a vivacious soul.
Katharina Keays is the newest member of our market team. Her Youthful and Vivacious outlook will inject new life into our growing market. She has been in charge of our new website and our social media posts. Plus with her background in Tourism, she also is the contact for liquor Vendors at our markets. If you have any Liquor Vendor questions she is your gal.
