President : Enzo Regala (He/Him)

Hey yall! My name is Enzo (he/him) and I’m honored to be serving as this year’s President! I am a junior information science major and a technology entreprenurship minor. I moved to Maryland from the Philippines when I was 8 so I can speak Tagalog pretty well. I joined FCA because I wanted to be more in touch with my culture and I’ve been very fortunate to find a family within FCA and have been able to serve as freshman rep and sports coord! When i’m not doing FCA related things, I like to play basketball, watch anime, play games, and listen to OPM. Please feel free to talk to me about literally anything and I can’t wait to meet you all!

Welcome to FCA and I look forward to getting to know all of you ❤

I’m excited to be working with my partner, Manny, for the betterment of FCA! If anyone needs help with their physics classes or math courses, or just want to talk about music, instruments, clothes, cars, computers, sneakers, or kpop, look for the hypebeast guy with colored hair at any FCA events!

Check it out 😉
