Sam Baynes
Edgeware,Christchurch
Summary
My name is Sam Baynes, and I am a second-year Electrical and Electronics Engineering student at the University Of Canterbury. In my spare time I enjoy experiencing the great outdoors, in the forms of hiking, snowboarding, and fishing. I also have a passion for my studies, even going as far to extend my study into a concurrent diploma in Global Humanitarian Engineering, which brings the practises of engineering into a humanitarian context which I believe makes this field of study that much more interesting. My family originate from Southland, owning a dairy farm which I have experienced being a part of. I also make sure to stay on a steady working schedule over the weekend working fridays and saturdays at the Carlton Steakhouse and Bar. As an oldest sibling of four, I also find myself taking my siblings to their sports games and practices throughout the week. All of this contributes to being very well experienced in managing my time no matter the task, and handling many responsibilities without difficulty.
