Kia Ora My name is Jason Bianchi and I was born in Wellington and have lived in many parts of the North Island over the years, spending the last 10 years in Tauranga where I completed a Diploma in Computer Network Engineering as an adult student, and spent the remainder of my time working for a private tertiary establishment managing two campuses between Tauranga and Rotorua where we delivered a variety of tertiary level program, my responsibilities in this role were varied from day to day running of the campuses which involved student management, staff management, financial management and spreading this over two sites, this was an extremely satisfying place to watch individuals come in and develop themselves in skills they wanted to achieve.

I returned to Wellington in 2018, where I was working for a Porirua College, this is where I became introduced to Challenge 2000 and their MASSiSS program, over a short amount of time I saw first-hand the amount of the work that Challenge 2000 did for one school and was completely blown away by at which this organisation had in its values of the young people and their families that they support.

I joined the Challenge 2000 team in July 2019 in the role of the Executive Juggler to work alongside the Management Team.
