STAGE MANAGER ASSISTANT

I was born in Mexico City, Mexico, I have stage experience in Musical Theatre, lyrical and contemporary dance and a passion for aerial hoop with two years of professional training.

I worked in the cruise tourist industry with companies like Carnival Cruises and Princess Cruises in Ensenada, Mexico where I worked in collaboration with Wineries and Tequileries and learnt about their history.

I came to Canada a year ago and I’m currently studying Journalism at the University of Regina and I’m volunteering with the Latin pavilion for a consecutive second year.

Christian Echeverria

CHILE

SOUND MANAGER

BBA Bachelor in Business Administration Degree.

Arriving in Canada in 2006, I quickly became an integral part of the Canadian Chilean Association in Regina. Over the years, I've contributed actively, from folk groups to organizing Mosaic for the past 12 years.

As a Spanish language teacher in the last decade, I've had the joy of connecting with kids and adults fostering an appreciation to our language at the Spanish school Salvador Allende.

For the past 13 years, I've been the host of "Rincón Latino" at CJTR, bringing music, news, and community support to Latinos since 2008.

Recently, I've explored new cultural expressions. A member of the Mariachi Latino Band, I perform and manage audio, and as DJ Pana, I bring our favorite tunes to Latin parties.

KITCHEN MANAGER

Experienced Chef.

When I was 3 years old, my favorite game was messing with pots and mixing raw foods. My mother said I would be a cook.

Cooking became a passion and a hobby that was good for me.

When I arrived in Canada, cooking became work. Cooking is an act of love. Serving good food is an act of giving.

Today I have already built a story as a cook in Canada. I worked at Roots Kitchen and bar, at Revera Renaissance, at Qu'appelle Home Care, always trying to put the love of cooking into the flavor of recipes.
