Kristine Young (Bella Venezia, Sunshine Coast) - passion and purpose

We’re thrilled to celebrate the achievements and recognition of Kristine Young, director of Bella Venezia restaurant on the Sunshine Coast. Kristine has taken out two major awards at the Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards, being named Champion in the Restaurant category as well as Champion Influential Woman. It’s timely to honour female leaders in the midst of conversations around toxic work culture. Kristine’s passion and purpose align at Bella Venezia: as a survivor of domestic violence, she brings much more than a love of food and wine into her business.
