Abhi Poudel-- May 2016
I have an honors degree in Hospitality Management from UK and I used to work as a Director of Sales for Hilton Hotels in the UK. After 15 years in the UK, my then pregnant wife Karishma (Kay) and Son Aaron (then 2 and half) moved permanently to Australia in June 2014 and had a daughter Aeva in September 2014. I came for the birth of Aeva and went back to the UK before permanently moving to Australia in November 2014. Since moving to Australia, I have registered and own two companies R.K. Poudel Enterprises (registered in Nepal) and Afna Pty Ltd in Sydney. I work as a Director in both of them. Besides these, I am a Founder and CEO of Basanta Foundation Inc in Australia. Following the Nepal earthquake April 2015, started working on charitable activities. Helped register Basanta Foundation in Nepal in May 2015 and registered Basanta Foundation Inc in Australia in Feb 2016. For Basanta Foundation, I organise several events to raise funds for the Foundation. Recent ones are Table Tennis Tournament and Nepalese Cultural Program. Currently there is a Basanta Foundation Charitable Cricket Tournament going on and we have got Basanta Foundation Charitable Football (Soccer) Shield planned soon. Recently I have also helped launch a catering business to my sister-in-law who is a chef and I take care of the business side of things working as a Director of Business Development.

PCYC Programmes
Mar 01, 2017
Paul joined NSW Police in 1999 and was first stationed at Brisbane Water Local Area Command (Gosford region). I worked there until 2007 then transferred to Eastwood Local Area Command until 2015. Over this time I have worked in general duties policing for 10 years and pro-active policing units for 5 years investigating break and enter/property and drug offences.I joined Youth Command in the role as Youth Case Manager at Hornsby Kuring-Gai PCYC in January 2015. My operational policing experience has given me a solid foundation to understand the patterns of behaviour and the needs of our youth, to explore the background behind the actual offence itself in developing strategies to combat crime from a different angle. |
