Kevin Hernandez Perez

"Among other candidates who are eager to take the position of VP of Finance, I, Kevin Hernandez Perez, look forward to demonstrating why you all should consider me. The Finance Committee focuses on setting the annual Student Senate Budget and administers all funds for the Student Senate to fund other committees and events. Seeing the great amount of work the finance committee dedicated itself to, I feel motivated to manage and focus on augmenting student life in Fullerton College by prioritizing services, departments, and club-related events. With the help of future representatives and senators that YOU can be part of, we could plan, record, and track budgets throughout different sectors and areas of the school. Now, what are my qualifications? I am part of and have participated in Associated Students since the 2026 Fall, being a representative of the RPR, Judicial, and Activities committees. I have experience in how committees are managed. From RPR and Judicial, I saw how planning and action were managed and contributed. In the Judicial, I contributed to the revision and edited a 30+ page governing document known as the ByLaws, with Dylan Juarez taking the lead. In the Activities committee, I’ve volunteered for club rushes and other events like Dia de los Muertos. Did I ever say I like to take on challenges? As a STEM student, I learned to persevere. Moreso, I manage funding for a project I personally run and created. Now, I assure you that I will bring this energy as VP of Finance."

I am currently a microbiology major planning to transfer within a year (hopefully!). I am also a member of the Associate Students, Biology club, Pre-health club, and MESA program at school. Outside of school, I work as an after-school math teacher, I dance (mainly ballet), I play guitar and melodica, and I fishkeep. Within the past years, I have developed many skills and experiences that would greatly help within the finance section of the Associated Students. Such experiences have included, secretary for my high school’s Filipino club and IB department.
