What does your job entail and how did it all come about?
Making sure that all the Imports & Exports via Air & Sea run smoothly - I originally started as a filing clerk for a Publisher distribution company and worked my way into a shipping position. I originally had no idea as to what I wanted to be in my life and I let fate take its course.
We live in an electronic age, what is it like being surrounded by books all day, when information is only a click away?
Working in the Logistic’s department you are not actually surrounded by books, but you are surrounded by all the paperwork to maintain, track, and ship all the books into the country. By the amount of books coming in I would have to say that the smell, and opening the first page of a brand new Patricia Cornwell thriller still seems to appeal to millions of people, rather than clicking to turn the next page !

You are the editor of FM Campus, how did it all happen?
I have worked for magazines in the US, UK, Ireland and Belgium. I love magazines, and when this job came up, I jumped at the opportunity. FM Campus is a really exciting publication, and it’s great to have so much freedom to create a new magazine, while working for a long-established brand.

We speak to 5FM's Sasha Martinengo, about life and being a DJ.
1. You must get this a lot, but we have to start with the cliché, why become a Radio DJ? Was it an ambition or did you just stumble upon it as a career?
I heard there were lots of hot babes in the music business. Actually it was an ambition and I always wanted to do it.
2. If you could draw or design a map of how best to become a Radio DJ what would your version look like?
Born, Adult, Love for Music, can speak to people and have Passion !!!!!!!!
