Meet Adriana Velázquez Verde, Assistant Venue Manager at Callao.
Born in Tepotzotlán and raised through the rhythm of Mexico City, Adriana’s path into hospitality began with studying tourism in her home country.
What followed was three years at sea - working in restaurants on cruise ships, sharpening her craft while understanding people and perspectives.
“This allowed me to develop strong hospitality and customer service skills while travelling and working with people from different cultures.”
In 2023, she brought that experience to Australia, continuing to build her place within the industry.
“I joined Alegre Restaurant, where I had the opportunity to grow professionally.”
That growth carried her to Callao earlier this year, stepping into a new chapter with confidence.
Adriana's favourite dish on the menu at Callao is the lamb rump.
“...And my favourite drink is Cusqueña Negra, which reminds me of home and my Latin American roots.”
