All About You: Sasha Hartzog

Meet Sasha Hartzog. She has moved around a bit, with stints in Virgina and Arizona, but has pretty much lived in Louisiana her whole life. After moving back here in 2004, Sasha took a job with a local lead generation company and began handling their social media operations. She was looking forward to a summer off until Not Rocket Science, Inc. picked her up and added her to their social media marketing department, putting her back into a summer work routine once again.

Sasha is now immersed in the world of tech and loving it. Find out more about her current position at Not Rocket Science here and on Twitter.

Sasha happily walks to the beat of her own drum, enjoying life listening to music with her dog Diego and beautiful nature by her side. She also loves dancing to live bands playing original music, and playing instruments on her own, both piano and the trumpet.

Tell us about your biggest failure.

My biggest failure?  Well I am not sure what that is, maybe it hasn’t happened yet.  However I feel as long as you try you are not a failure.  Only if you do not try or give it the old college try.. then right then that is failing.

What’s your favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?

I love Sundays, these are my lazy days.  If it’s summer you will find me traversing our property with my two dogs, Diego and Anika; while stopping for a dip in the creek.  If it is winter you will find me snuggled  up with Diego reading a good book.

Sunday is also one of my most favorite times to go into the French Quarter with girl friends for an afternoon stroll of shopping, drinking coffee and remembering how much I love New Orleans!

Ham.
