With a diverse educational background and a deep passion for music, Mariana Vela brings a unique perspective to the CMI team as Media and Marketing Manager. Holding a Bachelor's Degree in Latin American Studies from Southwestern University and a Master's Degree in Communications from The University of the Incarnate Word, Mariana possesses a comprehensive understanding of cultural dynamics and effective communication strategies.
Raised in a household resonating with the melodies of Chopin, she owes her early appreciation for the transformative power of music to her older brother. This upbringing instilled in her a profound belief in the ability of classical music to enrich and impact lives positively.
Mariana is now dedicated to spreading awareness and fostering accessibility to this enriching art form. Through her work, she endeavors to amplify the voices of musicians and collaborative organizations committed to making classical music inclusive and accessible to all.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Mariana finds solace and inspiration in nature and the company of animals. A lifelong equestrian, she can often be found in the company of horses, donning her boots.
