Adiana Vega

Musician, Artist, Civil Rights & Social Action Advocate

Berkeley College of Music, Boston

I consider myself a creative catalyst. My values are rooted in passion, professionalism, and work ethic entirely because of the way the people I reach respond to these elements. I have seen firsthand that there is a discernible difference when a professional genuinely cares about what they are doing and who they are doing it for. –  LinkedIn
