Co-Presidents
Kelly-Anne Dela Cueva
Co - President
Hi there, my name is Kelly-Anne Dela Cueva but you can call me Kelly! :) I’m heading into my 5th year at McMaster studying in the Life Sciences program. I currently live in (and will be participating in FMSA activities from) Mississauga and I’ve commuted from home a majority of my time at Mac. A few of the most memorable things I’ve experienced in FMSA include helping start the Kaibigans of McMaster project and participating in Pinoys on Parliament. Both initiatives taught me a lot about the importance of maintaining and celebrating Filipino culture and community.
This school year I am honoured to have the opportunity to serve as Co-President. My role entails helping organize the exec team to create and promote initiatives regarding Filipino culture that unify and uplift the general members, exec team and community. In my free time I enjoy talking to friends and family, watching K-dramas, exploring Youtube and Twitter, going on walks, art/DIY-ing (I love photography/videography, painting and sketching) and much more. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions, comments, concerns, suggestions about FMSA. Or hit me up if you want to discuss hobbies or gain a (social distance) buddy! Can’t wait to see you online or in person (at a distance)!
Martin Tahamid
Co - President
Hi there! My name is Martin and I’m excited to serve as one of your Co-Presidents this year! I’m in my fourth year of Chemical Biology Co-op and happy to answer any of your orgo questions, in exchange for a good meal. I’m open to discussing a wide range of peculiar topics, including global politics, emotional development, and Ariana’s impact on popular culture.
I’m also an advocate for Filipino and LGBTQ+ representation in positions of leadership. I’ve always been passionate about FMSA since my first year; it’s a comfortable space to build friendships, foster personal growth, and act as a home away from home. We have something for everyone, so give us a chance if you’re feeling shy! Add me on socials, I’m always open to making a new friend!
