I created Northern GC Community Network to incorporate my Entrepreneurial Skills & facilitate Community Events & programs around the Gold Coast. I managed my own branch of TKTN for 18 months and now concentrate on my passion of helping others with their Customer Relations for Aussie Beenleigh. I also have my own network facebook page to offer any small business and not for profit the opportunity to use my platform for their advertising and networking, it is growing every week, and as from February 2015 I am working with City of Gold Coast to provide 2 amazing shows per month to our Seniors and Disabled in the Community. Northern Gold Coast Community Variety Shows are growing quickly and we are able to provide awesome entertainment, fun, raffles and morning tea for a very reasonable $5.00. It is so gratifying to see the looks on the guests faces and see them both singing along and dancing in the aisles. Love my job! In our second year now and going so well.
