As Backblaze continues to grow, so does our physical media support team. Our latest physical media technician to join the team is Lisa. She will be helping to fulfill our customers’ needs when it comes to restores and hard drive returns. Let’s learn a little more about Lisa, shall we?
What is your Backblaze Title?
Physical Media Technician.
Where are you originally from?
Bred, born, and raised in San Jose, CA.
What attracted you to Backblaze?
A new, and exciting atmosphere, as well as a place I felt I could grow with.
What do you expect to learn while being at Backblaze?
New skills, as well as what it’s like to work with such a blooming company.
Where else have you worked?
For the last nine years, I’ve worked for a small family (not my family) owned winery in Morgan Hill, called Morgan Hill Cellars.
What’s your dream job?
I dream to one day own a small cafe that sells sweets, cakes, and serves tea. Then I shall retire to my upstairs apartment, where I can sit and read beneath the warmth of my fat cat.
Of what achievements are you most proud of?
I was, and might still be a hot topic on Yelp on the winery’s (Morgan Hill Cellars) page. I also achieved the greatest honor of being referred to as “my favorite aunt.”
Why do you like certain things?
Well, to be honest, I often wonder about this question myself. What is it about a ticking clock that fills me with an unexplainable joy? Why do I find the color green so especially pleasing? Why does rain soaking into my hair, give me such an overwhelmingly peaceful feeling? Truly, what IS it about almonds that makes them so great!? Who are we to question the largest mysteries of the universe? We are merely but dandelion fluff upon a spoon, and as such we shall continue to float along in this world and enjoy all it has to offer us.
Favorite place you’ve traveled?
Scotland. There’s nothing like the fresh air of the great northern isle to make one feel calm and invigorated all at once.
Favorite hobby?
Kissing my cat’s head — she’d be so angry to hear I told you that. Maybe we’ll say crafting instead. Yes, crafting! I own far too much paper to be considered healthy.
Favorite food?
Takoyaki!!
Star Trek or Star Wars?
To boldly go — and earl grey, hot.
Coke or Pepsi?
Sprite?
Anything else you’d like to tell us?
I am a weaver of tales, a drinker of tea. I am an avid reader, as well as a passionate feeder of friends. By far I am full of flowery words, and lofty ideas, all mixed together with a fervent need to be useful. And above all, I am always, always happy to chat.
