Jonas has completed the “trifecta” of his training at the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, from Bachelor of Science (2019), to Doctor of Medicine (2023), to his current medical residency in Diagnostic and Molecular Pathology.
Throughout his training he has been a long-standing advocate of his now alma mater, such as during his six years as U¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Ambassador. In this position Jonas led 60+ campus/residence tours for students from around the globe (and so has campus fun facts galore)!
Jonas’s advocacy work is personally meaningful.

Jonas remains connected to U of A through his faculty, currently serving as facilitator for case-based learning for medical students from China of the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Institute, an international collaboration between medical schools in Edmonton and Wenzhou, China.
Jonas enjoys swimming (waterslides are a bonus!), plant-based living, and public transit adventures.
