Caron Tobiere-
Here’s a Little about This Face
Merissa Stephen
Meet
Caron Tobiere, the woman behind the success
of St. Lucia’s Calypso season.
“I
have been involved in arts and cultural activities
for almost all my life and have played very
active roles in theatre, drama and poetry here,”
shares Tobiere.
Caron
has for a number of years now been on the committee
involved with putting on the various tents for
calypso. She indicated that her involvement
is not just because she’s capable of conjuring
up a good event, but because she is a lover
of the art form.
“I
am an avid calypso fan and can tell you some
very funny stories about the development of
calypso/ tent pinezetc,” stated Caron,
“So getting into the administration of
calypso was not too big a leap.”
A
woman manning her own, Caron indicates that
working in a predominantly male atmosphere has
proven to have its challenges. Overcoming the
intimidations of such an ambience has made her
even stronger in her line of work. “As
you would imagine dealing with calypso is dealing
with men and that in itself poses a challenge,”
she shared.
Tobiere
is a qualified professional. “I am a qualified
Events & Weddings Consultant with a background
in Business Administration,” she communicated.
This lady loves what she does. She indicated
that apart from her job, she particularly takes
joy in training and teaching persons. |
