I'm Alli Maloney (@allimaloney) and I serve as news + politics features editor at Teen Vogue.
My very first job? It was in food service, and really horrible. I was 14 and totally being exploited as a cash register girl/floor cleaner/person that got bossed around by a weird older man, and our restaurant was sandwiched in the worst corner of our local mall (which, where I’m from, was really far away from home). I had so many fulfilling experiences working in restaurants in the years that followed, but this place was a nightmare!

I don’t think I dreamed to become a journalist, but I knew from the time that I first started writing in elementary school that I wanted to be close to words. I'm from North Carolina, but I went to college at Ohio University in Athens after I was accepted into their journalism program and awarded financial aid. (I also didn't know anyone there, which was honestly *the* major selling point when I made my choice.) It was in classrooms and among smart peers that that I recognized I love understanding how news works, and developed an understanding of how systems — media included — have influenced American culture by suggesting that heteronormativity, patriarchal beliefs and racism are the norm. My focuses were magazine journalism, African American studies, and history, and my job allows me to apply these understandings to my work every day.
If I were to give my younger self career advice, I'd tell little Alli to take the time to map out her dreams. I glossed over good ideas for too often because I assumed that I wasn't on “that level,” or that someone else would probably just do it. If I could go back, I'd keep my notebook a little closer and in it, allow myself the space to flesh out ideas, good or bad. Like many writers/words people, I treated my notebook as a final relic of my existence, and every entry as such, but I see now that getting messy and working through exciting thoughts is actually what helps develop and hone my skills. I’d trust myself. ? #HowIGotHere ?: @zak_krevitt
