E189 Marcela Hernandez Gonzalez
Curating Unique Pop-ups
This weeks guest is Marcela Hernandez Gonzalez who joins us from Toronto. Known for orchestrating record-breaking "Pop-Up" events, Marcela embodies the essence of a consummate host, curating unique experiences that weave an atmosphere of warmth and conviviality, compelling patrons to return time and again. From immersive celebrations like "Dia de Muertos," paying homage to her Mexican heritage, to lively summer bashes channeling Cuban vibes.
Hailing from Mexico, Marcela's journey into the hospitality industry began upon her relocation to Toronto several years ago. Starting in the back-of-house as a dishwasher, Marcela swiftly transitioned to the front-of-house, honing her skills across diverse dining experiences. Nowadays, you'll find Marcela rocking the roles of both manager and bartender at Little Sister in Toronto.
Marcela firmly believes that the most valuable investment in any business is its staff, prioritizing the creation of a nurturing environment where staff can thrive. She thrives in the lively banter shared with patrons seated at the bar, her genuine passion evident in every interaction.
