Overall Experience
Enlightening!

San Diego "Gas Lamp" area theatre area has changed much.. Oh so much. The individual that refered me to the position understood that I was new in town and quite lonely, I was putting my husband through law school, she was a client at the law firm that I was employed at at the time. I believe she understood that I had plenty of confidence and was a responsible individual that would also enjoy the arts and people who enjoyed the same. My first day on the job as a volunteer, I remember how she walked me through the duties and shared intimate stories of her days spent in the Nazi concentration camps.
Experience in general... confidence!
