The newest addition to the crew at Backblaze, Emily, breaks down her favorite hobbies and aspirations. They involve pets and World of Warcraft… What a combo!<\/p>\n

What is your Backblaze title?<\/strong>
\nOffice Manager.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t have to work, what would you do?<\/strong>
\nIf I didn\u2019t have to work, I would work! I would start my own nonprofit organization and open up a series of diverse animal shelters across the country. I am a huge animal advocate and love working with them. I spent the first 13 years of my life helping my grandparents run various campgrounds near Yosemite. My father and I wandered the forest, catching every creature that crossed our path. Mom almost never let us keep them, and I really wanted to bring home a bear, but even my father protested that. I would still attend school and obtain my RN license, and start another nonprofit organization that provided medication and medical treatment for children in poor countries.<\/p>\n

What is your dream job?<\/strong>
\nWorking for Backblaze, of course! However another dream job of mine is to join the Air Force, and work in counter-intelligence. I intend to finish getting my B.A. in nursing, join the Air Force, then retire and work as a nurse at the Yountville Veterans Home.<\/p>\n

What attracted you to Backblaze?<\/strong>
\nMy husband has worked for Backblaze for well over two years now. He was constantly talking about how \u201ccool\u201d it is to work here, throwing all these names around that I could never remember. Except for Brian, I always knew there was a Brian…or two…or three…maybe even four. Finally, I decided to check this place out for myself and liked what I saw. Luckily, they did too! The company\u2019s standard of transparency and honesty is refreshing, and I look forward to serving this company.<\/p>\n

Where else have you worked?<\/strong>
\nPreviously, I worked at Napa Valley Hospice as their Program Assistant\u2014a very rewarding experience! I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to have worked there. The things I learned are priceless, and the people I met are wonderful. Hospice is a unique form of healthcare, with an interdisciplinary team approach to patient care. Hospice helps both patients with terminal diagnoses and their loved ones, as they write their final life chapter.<\/p>\n

Favorite place you\u2019ve traveled?<\/strong>
\nDisneyland is my absolute favorite! In fact, my husband proposed to me on Pirates of the Caribbean. Needless to say, Disneyland holds many fond memories! However, I have not traveled out of the country, and would love to visit South America and Europe.<\/p>\n

Favorite hobby\/interests?<\/strong>
\nI love camping, fishing, kicking butt and taking names in Call of Duty, spending an incredible amount of time at Petco, and playing World of Warcraft. For the Horde!<\/p>\n

Help us welcome Emily to the Backblaze fold, and if you\u2019re an Alliance member and meet her in-game… Good luck to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
