I ran for CORE again because I felt like I had some unfinished business as a leader of PASA. I was a Cultural Director last year and unfortunately our PCN show was cancelled. I had some momentum going forward and knew I really enjoy being on CORE, so I decided to run for president. Running an organization under a pandemic is not easy but the people I am leading PASA alongside with make it the best experience. There is way too many memories to name! For starters, all of the PCNs I was apart of! (Rehersals/showdays/everything!). I started to be more active in PASA after my first PCN! I participated in FG 25! & it was definately a highlight. All the friends I’ve made and people I’ve gotten close to. Another big one for me was getting picked up into BombSquad by my beautiful Ate, Kayla Usison and of course, picking up two little ones of my own and now my Co-Po chairs, Laenie Mateo and Simon Carmona.

My name is Cat! For those of you who don’t know, I am the President of PASA of CSUEB! I’m a fourth. year liberal studied major in BombSquad. I learned how to play the drums over quarantine, I have about 30 houseplants in my room, and my MBTI us INFJ-T. Although, others would say I’m pretty extroverted.

As we finished the first semester of this school year, I thank everyone who came out to our events and thank those who still show their support for PASA time and time again. It means the world to us and you guys keep us going! We hope to see more of you gyus this semester! Please look forward to our events and what we have planned for you all! :)

Looking ahead, I hope everyone has a good holiday season, A Happy New Years, and a safe 2021! I wish everyone good health and happiness!

Love Always,
