I am always down to go on an impromptu shopping spree or explain the amazingness that is SeaWorld. So, as you’ve probably guessed – I’m a complete dork, but DO come talk to me!

ABOUT ME: Hi! My name is Jonathan and I am your International Service Co-Chair. I did Interact in high school and I absolutely loved it. Luckily, Cal Rotaract was able to bring me the same excitement last year and I cannot wait to get to know more members. I am extremely outgoing and I love meeting new people at every occasion. I even made some friends at People’s Park while playing basketball during freshman year. (Shocker! They are really funny and great to play with.) Hopefully I will become someone’s close buddy next year! I enjoy hearing stories about people’s life in general. Most importantly, I am great at giving relationship advices.
