Jayden Chiu

Jayden Chiu lives by the Lionel Messi quote: “I start early and I stay late, day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.” Following Messi’s words, Jayden is a diligent and passionate student who appreciates Dr. Lofgren, his Advanced Studies Paleontology teacher, for being a great mentor by guiding him through his many research. Outside of the classroom, Jayden enjoys working out in the gym, ordering food, or blasting Taylor Swift songs with his friends on the weekend. As a prefect in MacLeod, Jayden also loves helping out with the annual Halloween and holiday parties. Although he loves Webb and Claremont, Jayden was born and raised in Hong Kong, so he is influenced by both Western and Eastern culture. This has influenced his passion for traveling and reading about different cultures from a young age. Next year, Jayden will bring this interest with him to Johns Hopkins University, where he plans to major in International Studies before his final goal of working with the United Nations.
