"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope." -Maya Angelou
Brandon Bernardino
Lead Cultural Programmer
Brandon was born in Sasebo, Japan, and raised in various parts of the United States before settling in Sacramento, CA, during his teenage years. He is now a senior studying Business Administration with an option in Accounting at Chico State’s College of Business, where he is preparing to pursue a career as a CPA. He earned an A.S. in Business Administration from Butte College in 2023 and continues to develop his interests in accounting, and information systems.
Growing up around many different cultures helped shape Brandon’s appreciation for diverse communities and strengthened his desire to help create spaces where people feel understood, respected, and supported.
In the future, Brandon hopes to combine his interests in accounting, mentorship, and systems-building to help individuals and organizations reach their potential. He is especially interested in creating processes that improve accessibility, develop skills, and break down barriers for others.
Outside of academics and campus involvement, Brandon enjoys strategy-based video games, photography, fitness, and spending time at the WREC or CCLC.
