What is your Backblaze Title?<\/strong>
\nSales Development Representative<\/p>\n

Where are you originally from?<\/strong>
\nWaipahu, HI<\/p>\n

What attracted you to Backblaze?<\/strong>
\nI was referred by Natalie Cook, checked it out online, and knew I needed to work here because of the family-like culture!<\/p>\n

What do you expect to learn while being at Backblaze?<\/strong>
\nI look forward to developing my B2B sales & prospecting skills.<\/p>\n

Where else have you worked?<\/strong>
\nI used to work at Equinox Fitness, Betts Recruiting, & lululemon. I’ve also been a private vocal coach, too!<\/p>\n

Where did you go to school?<\/strong>
\nI received my Bachelors of Music and Masters of Fine Arts from Notre Dame de Namur University here in Belmont, CA.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your dream job?<\/strong>
\nI would love to be a backup singer for an amazing pop vocalist like Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, or, if circumstances were different, Whitney Houston. RIP my queen!<\/p>\n

Favorite place you\u2019ve traveled?<\/strong>
\nNew York City<\/p>\n

Favorite hobby?<\/strong>
\nTennis<\/p>\n

Of what achievement are you most proud?<\/strong>
\nBeing the first in my family to get a graduate degree.<\/p>\n

Star Trek or Star Wars?<\/strong>
\nStar Wars<\/p>\n

Coke or Pepsi?<\/strong>
\nDiet Coke, all day every day!<\/p>\n

Green or Black iced tea?<\/strong>
\nBlack tea is great, but I really love an Arnold Palmer, too. Keep it sweet!<\/p>\n

Favorite food?<\/strong>
\nKorean food. Gotta love those side dishes.<\/p>\n

Why do you like certain things?<\/strong>
\nNot to toot my own horn, but I have impeccable taste (read: sarcasm).<\/p>\n

Anything else you\u2019d like you\u2019d like to tell us?<\/strong>
\nIf you ever want to go out to try a new restaurant, play some tennis, or hit up a karaoke bar, I’m your guy!<\/p>\n

Arnold Palmer’s are delicious and we just might have to start stocking some lemonade in the office. Can’t believe we’ve dropped the ball on that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
