kapatid director 2020-2021

I decided to run for CORE again because in a sense I felt dissatisfied with my first year of CORE when it was cut short due to the pandemic (I loved being in COREisahan tho lol). I’ve always had a love for the Kapatid program actually before I entered East Bay. I’ve experienced similar programs during high school when I attended some conferences. Then in my 1st year of college, I was paired up with the best fam and best pairing I could ever ask for. In the same year, I interned under the Kapatid Director Alexine Luna and my love for the program grew even more and my goal of wanting to tun the program to give the experience I was given to others also grew too! So here I am now running my favorite program under a pandemic with another great CORE!

Hey guys! It’s me, Meller Maglinte Gran (He/Him/His), your Kapatid Director for 2020-2021. I’m a third year bio major in B.A.M Fam. I’ve played 3 years of badminton in H.S, I like to sing, and I can speak Bisaya.
