Background

About Aidan Perales

I am currently at Grand Canyon University, Colangelo College of Business, pursuing my B.S. in Sports and Entertainment Management with a minor in Pre-Athletic Training. I'm involved in the Sports and Entertainment Business Club and College Democrats and train for Triathlons during my free time. I currently work as the Marketing Coordinator for Washington DECA, creating and managing social media content and photographing and videoing conferences. Before employment, I was in DECA all four years of high school, including serving as Chapter President and State Officer as VP of Marketing, where I helped build and maintain a social media presence across multiple platforms and engaged members while also competing at the international level. I graduated from Burlington-Edison High School as ASB President and a 3-sport Varsity Athlete in Cross County, Swim & Dive, and Track & Field. I also served on the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Student Leadership Committee during my Junior and Senior years with 16 other students, providing insight on current events and issues, attending Executive Board Meetings, and working hands-on at State Competitions. This led to my initial dive into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and how I can help make sports more accessible to everyone, just as they have been for me. In 2021-2022, I also served on my District's Equity committee, attending multiple day-long trainings and sessions to help write and present B-ESD's first Equity Policy, which the Board passed in the Spring of 2022.
