Christine Buxton

I moved to the Gold Coast in 2014 for universty and fell in love with the city. I love that volunteering for the Junior Chamber and working for Gold Coast Hospital Foundation allows me to meet more people in our community.

Brett Harron

I am a insolvency accountant and certified numberphile. I can be overly analytical in everyday life, though I tend to loosen up after a few drinks. I love animals and have two rescue greyhounds and a rescue shorthair exotic, all from the AWLQ.

Solange Schuba

I am a mum of 1, work full-time as a Solicitor at Stone Group Lawyers and enjoy philanthropic endeavours that helps others in their personal and career goals. My favourite quote and personal philosophy is “strive not to succeed, but to be of value” and it is this that I aim to achieve as part of the Gold Coast Junior Chamber of Commerce.

Sugandh Goindani

I work as an Accountant at Count GC and moved to the Gold Coast in 2022 (so relatively new here). I love going on hikes, cooking and trying new restraurants, playing tennis and kickboxing. I am enjoying volunteering for the GCJCC and meeting more professionals on the Gold Coast.

Alex Faulkner

My love for the Gold Coast runs deep alongside my passion for the stock market. I am a Private Wealth Adviser with Ord Minnett and have been with the firm since 2020. I also greatly enjoy playing sport including: soccer, golf, cricket and tennis. I joined the Junior Chamber Committee so I could contribute my skills to the team and continue to build my network.

Christie Perrin

Born and raised on the Gold Coast, I have a Bachelors degree in Communications (Business) and have worked in events, marketing and PR. In 2022, I lauched with my business partner my own marketing and PR agency, GWEN Creative and have been working with local and interstate businesses since we hit the ground running. I love living near the beach, attending local events and wining and dining at all of the restaurants and bars our city has to offer.

Ray Watanabe

I was born and raised on the Gold Coast. I am half Japanese and half Australian. I have worked in many different areas ranging from being a pizza delivery boy, waiter, labourer, hospitality venue host/ manager, saxophonist and solicitor. I love playing basketball, mixed martial arts, my dogs, my friends and my family. I dislike being bored and spiders. (I didn’t know what to put here but if you want more or less, let me know)

Chantelle Pollock

Not Available

B.J Doyle

I have lived on the Gold Coast my whole life, and can’t think of a better place to be. I am an Associate at Muscat Tanzer Lawyers, working predominantly in litigation. I’m an avid sports fan (go the Broncos) and amateur rugby player, so outside of work you’ll most likely find me on the field.

Star Thompson

I have lived on the Gold Coast for the majority of my life and love the amazing lifestyle and community. I have a Bachelor of Buisiness majoring in Marketing, I am currently working for The Star Entertainment Group as the Leisure & Entertainment Marketing Executive.

Prior to The Star, I held previous roles with The City of Gold Coast with a specific focus on Communications. When I’m not working on exciting events happening at The Star Gold Coast, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and wining and dining.
