SATHEESH KUMAR PACHIAPPAN

ABOUT ME

I am an IT/Technical Project Manager with over 18 years of experience. We are fairly new to Australia having moved here in mid-2017 after spending majority of our life in USA and a bit in India, Austria and Ireland. I have worked with major corporations and have also co-founded two start-ups. I live with my wife Aruna and two kids Sharan (Year 10) and Pranaya in Berwick.

I have been actively involved in the community and have held various voluntary roles such as School Council Member for Primary school in Atlanta, Citizen Auxiliary Police with Johns Creek PD, Assistant Scout Master in Boy Scouts of America and Junior Coordinator in Berwick Cricket Club.

I am an avid traveller, photographer and a Cricket Australia Certified Coach. I love working with children and have volunteered in many initiatives for children in various areas through the above mentioned roles.

As someone with such diverse global experience/interests, I would love to contribute to the initiatives in this wonderful school and students.
