Alan Paredes was born on November 22, 1969. He graduated in 1987 from Father Duenas High School in Guam. In 1992 he earned a Bachelor of Sciences in Biochemistry from UC Davis. Alan worked for Receptron, Inc., becoming one of the company’s longest tenured employees. Then answering the call of his creative side, he earned a second Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He joined Bio-Rad Laboratories in Hercules, where he worked for more than 17 years, attaining the level of Art Director. Tragically, Alan passed away on December 12, 2022 from a bicycle accident.
A proud member of the Filipino community, Alan frequently gave back by volunteering his time in various activities. He served Your Filipino Professionals Association, holding key leadership roles including Vice President, Marketing Director, and Scholarship Program Director, a program he co-founded. Of the many roles he served, he enjoyed the Scholarship Program because of its direct involvement with promising college-bound students involved in the Filipino community. Alan contributed his graphic design talents towards YFPA as well as Books for the Barrios, and made an impact in their marketing and social media promotions.
Alan led a life filled with potential and would be very proud to see scholars excelling in their career aspirations. We look forward to awarding the 2024 YFPA Academy of Art University Scholarship in his honor.
