At UNCG Auditorium, formerly known as Aycock Auditorium, I did a variety of front of house and backstage duties including ushering, seating, strike, attending work calls, working in the booth, etc. Loved doing everything I could to make sure every event ran smoothly, whether it was an orchestra concert, dance concert, musical, summer camp, orientation event, or even a graduation ceremony!

Learned all about the world of fine jewelry! From learning the 4 C's to selling engagement rings, I got to experience it all here. I was a part of the first staff for this Shallotte location - we assembled everything weeks prior to being officially open! It was very rewarding to see this store grow.

I was a cashier, a janitor, a chef, a secretary, and a person who can deal with any adverse conditions, and trust me, at a movie theater, there were lots of those! I loved this job very much because I was always learning and helping people.
