Hi Kim!! I'm a young woman in the concert production industry. I started out at 18 washing dishes backstage at an amp and worked my way up from there, and have been working in the industry full time since graduating college. I did my first tour last year, and have had several more offers this year, including my first eu tour!

My question is, how do you get people to take you seriously as a woman, and in my case a very young woman in positions of authority? I'm under 25, and I look under 25. Because even though I've done hundreds of shows, thousands of hours, I still have trouble controlling situations with a certain personality type. My (hopefully soon!) next career step is a venue management position, where oftentimes the buck will stop with me. What advice do you have for growing that confidence and dealing with these people?

You are a huge role model for me and reading your responses has been so awesome. Thank you for doing this!!!!

I LOVE eargasm. Wear them almost daily. One of my venues just got a new, incredibly bassy PA and the plugs keep me from getting constant headaches!
