Hey! I’m Jonah, a student at Princeton University planning to study either Physics or Operations Research and Financial Engineering. I grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii, and loved my tutoring experience in high school. I was heavily involved with my school’s physics program and worked as a teacher’s assistant my junior and senior years. Along with that, I volunteered at my school’s Peer Learning Center and tutored students in a wide range of subjects, from math to Chinese to chemistry. At Princeton, I am involved in the running club and sailing team and enjoy making the most of the many awesome opportunities available here. I love surfing, biking, running, climbing, and fooling around on the guitar and cello!
I look forward to meeting you!

Other Interests & Activities: I'm involved with the Princeton Sailing Team and the Princeton Running Club. I am very involved in the Princeton Latter-day Saint Student Association. Last semester I spent most of my free time with the rowing team doing the walk-on process. Though I made the team and spent three months doing so, I decided the group wasn't for me and to put my priorities back to school and finding fun communities.
