Meet The POWs

Hey there! My name is Alana Tantoco, and I’m currently a sophomore from Manila, Philippines! I joined POW because I strongly believe in creating an open, safe space on campus where people feel heard, supported, and understood, and I’d be more than happy to be that person for anyone who needs it. On campus, you can find me in FSA, Sigma Kappa, Babson Cheer, BAPSA, and Babson Esports. Other than that, I love fashion, food, and making my own matcha! I always try to find wellness and balance in everything I love and do, and I would love to help others navigate their own wellness journey <3

Hi, my name is Kaira Madan, and I’m from New Delhi, India. For me, wellness is the quiet work of finding your way back to yourself—through care, connection, and staying true to who you are. Sometimes it’s a walk in nature, a song that moves you, getting lost in a book, or simply sitting with your thoughts and a cup of coffee. It’s in those small, grounding moments that I find the space to pause, reflect, and recenter.
