Michelle Castañeda—Sunrider International’s December 2009 Employee of the Month

Michelle, a Senior Paralegal in our Legal Department, graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Political Science where she also obtained her paralegal certificate. Her positive attitude, good sense of humor, and great multitasking ability has made Michelle a vital Legal team member during her 10 years with Sunrider.

Michelle specializes in corporate law and is primarily involved in the formation, compliance, and maintenance of Sunrider’s ever growing number of domestic and international companies. With dozens of legal entities to service and monitor annually, her outstanding organizational skills, judgment, and expertise are invaluable in our multi-national business. She assisted in meeting important 2009 yearend deadlines and coordinated critical company formations and filings. Her involvement with recent corporate reorganizations, due diligence, legal research, transactional work, and coordination of projects with her co-workers and outside professionals was also note-worthy.

Michelle enjoys running with her husband Carlos, even completing the Los Angeles Marathon, and has two beautiful young girls, Giselle and Cayla.

Kudos on this career achievement!

Michelle revealed these tidbits about herself!

Q1: What is the best thing about being a SR employee? It most definitely has to be the friendships and relationships I’ve developed with my co-workers and our affiliate members in the different parts of the world we service.

Q2: What’s your best memory of SR? My best memories are the times when all of us in the Legal Dept. got creative and came up with these fun ideas for themed Halloween costumes. We would all dress up and participate in the SR Halloween contest. The most fun was working together as a team and coming up with some pretty great ideas. We would later celebrate by going out to lunch using our winnings. Those were good memories!

Q3: What do you like most about your job?
My job presents different challenges everyday in promoting good health and well being to all people around the world, so that they may have our Sunrider® products available to them.

Q4: What’s your favorite color? Black

Q5: Do you have any pets? A fish
