Jonty Bond

Originally from Nelson, I am currently a second-year student at the University of Canterbury, studying towards a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Financial Engineering. I am an active and hardworking individual who is willing to put in the effort to achieve excellent results. While studying, I am becoming proficient in the coding languages R and Python, and I will start learning JavaScript next year as part of my course. I have achieved sporting success at both national and international levels and bring this same level of commitment to everything I do. I work well with team members and know how to function effectively at a high level. I also have experience in leadership roles at the international sporting level. I enjoy studying mathematics at university, and it is something I would like to feature heavily in my future career.

Alongside studying full-time, for the past two years I have also been playing for the Canterbury Rams in the New Zealand National Basketball League (NZNBL). I have been fortunate enough to represent New Zealand in multiple age-group national teams over the past years, most recently being a New Zealand Under-19 select team that traveled to China in April.

Music is also a big interest of mine. While in high school, I completed the Trinity College of London performance exams for drumming. I completed grades three, five, and seven with merit and, finally, grade eight with distinction.
