Say Hello to Audrey Castro, Market Manager, South Florida
How long have you been part of the Heaven Hill family?
Since January 4.
What’s inspiring you in life right now?
Fitness. It inspires me to do a lot of things, and I feel like I’m a better individual when I’ve worked out at some point of the day. I live by the mantra: Look Good Feel Good. When I take care of myself, I feel inspired and motivated to be a better person. I love to run. I find I can have a very clear mind when I’ve put some miles in during the day.
Tell us about an organization or cause you are passionate about.
I’m very passionate about Peloton. I feel like it’s a very family-oriented company, like Heaven Hill. I even purchased some of their stock recently. You feel comfortable taking their classes, because it’s such an interactive platform. Plus, the instructors are very encouraging. They make you feel like you’re a part of the class.
Which Heaven Hill corporate value do you relate to most and why?
Teamwork. I’ve been part of a team since I was seven years old, playing volleyball from the age of seven until I was 21 years old. With Teamwork, you have better creativity through the engagement of different minds and perspectives.
What’s your favorite Heaven Hill memory?
So far it’s been the National Sales Meeting, especially coming into a new company and not knowing how everything works. It was interesting to hear about our brand promotion, acquisitions and how our marketing, sales and finance teams all come together to build and develop these brands.
What’s one thing people may not know about you?
Probably that I have three brothers: two older and one younger. They’ve helped to toughen me up.
What’s your favorite time of day?
Early morning. It’s nice to go for a run when the sun is coming up. It’s a quiet and peaceful time.
What are three things you can’t live without?
Water, running and hazelnut coffee creamer.
What would you like to be remembered for?
I would like to be remembered as someone who was passionate about everything that they did.
