All female entrepreneur’s on the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island will know this week’s Sunday Profile – Moira Were.

I was personally excited to have Moira agree to do our Q & A session this week. What an amazing role model! 

Moira is the founder of Chooks SA – a movement with a mission to increase equity for female founders in start-ups and social enterprises. Established in May 2017.

Her achievement list is long. Being honoured by Australia with an AM on Australia Day 2019 for services to social welfare and other roles, gives you an insight to this amazing woman.

A bit about me and any link(s) to the Fleurieu and/or Kangaroo Island:

I have lived on the Fleurieu Peninsula most of the last 25 years - Port Noarlunga South, Willunga and now Sellicks Beach.

MY TOP TIPS

Best place to....

●     Grab a quick bite - I love to have something sweet and delicious at the Farmers Market from Soulfood & Co

●     Have a more serious feed - can’t go past Little Rickshaw in Aldinga

●     Get a cuppa - from Maxwell’s

●     Have a beer (or cold drink) - at The Victory

●     Taste some wine (or just enjoy the winery atmosphere) - Red Poles

●     Go for a dip - Silver Sands

●     Explore nature - Aldinga Scrub

When I’m on the Fleurieu and/or KI, I…

●     feel…refreshed

●     always make sure I visit… when in KI - KI Spirits

●     stock up on… gin

not the weirdest - but the most joyous - singing in the Gospel Groove Choir led by Quentin Eyers
