Meet Santiago - B2B Coordinator

Martinez

What’s amazing about Empanadas is the variety in the filling, from melted cheese to any combination of meats, and that you can find them all over Latin America (fried or baked), and in many other countries under different names, like Poland (Perogies), Italy (Calzones), and India (Samosas). Favourite holiday: New Year’s: A time to re-energize, set new goals, and celebrate new beginnings. Fun fact about you: I love cooking and trying out new recipes that challenge my skills. It’s a fantastic way to focus, forget about any stress, and learn new techniques. And that feeling when the person you served it to smiles and thinks it’s delicious... priceless.

Country of birth: Colombia Cultural background: Hispanic / Latino What is your favourite food or recipe? As most Colombians know, nothing compares to a crispy Empanada. For me, they have to be filled with shredded beef and potato and are the best as a morning or afternoon snack.

Role at canfitpro: My role is B2B Marketing Coordinator. From communicating with our advertisers, sponsors, and partners, to building our monthly B2B Newsletter and executing our marketing plans, every day is a challenge worth taking to contribute to the success of this incredible organization. Length of time at canfitpro: One year. Why is what you do with canfitpro important to you? I get to contribute to an organization that does so much for the fitness industry, while I continue

to learn and grow every single day. I am also part of the Diversity & Inclusion and Social Committees, where I get to tackle D&I issues, engage with canfitpro associates, and help bring some joy. Which canfitpro core value most resonates with you? All of canfitpro’s core values resonate with me, but Curiosity is the value that leads me to learn, to challenge common practices, to wonder ‘why’ so we can make improvements, and to find solutions outside the box. What is your favourite form of exercise or physical activity? The best way to stay active is to play sports like Football (soccer), golf, and baseball, as there is an amazing connection between the physical activity, focus, and a goal. How do you incorporate fitness into your life? For the most part, I work out in my basement using bodyweight exercises or go out for long walks on trails. What is your two-word WHY statement? Intercultural understanding. What is your Super-Power? I don’t have a Super-Power, but I do have the power to be the best person I can be. What do you want to be remembered for? I would like to be remembered for the joy and support I gave my loved ones.
