Jose Luis Vega began working at YCC in July of 2022. He graduated with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Communication & Media Studies, as well as a Bachelor’s of Science in Marketing from Aurora University in May of the same year.
Jose chose to work at YCC because of the impact YCC has on the youth and the city of Waukegan as a whole. His experience in giving back to communities stems from his involvement in his Latin fraternity, Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and he wanted to continue making an impact, this time with the city of Waukegan.
His creativity and passion for social media, graphic design, and marketing all attracted him to the position of Marketing and Outreach Coordinator.
One of Jose’s passions is music. In his free time, he loves to listen to music, play guitar, and even DJ at social events. His top three genres are Hip-Hop, Reggaeton, and R&B. Besides music, Jose loves to travel. His happy place is the beach, and his favorite beach is located in Luquillo, Puerto Rico.
