When I Was 17: Kaitlan Whitteberry

8/18/2017

PictureKaitlan is basically a professional at looking professional.
​Kaitlan Whitteberry is the social media manager for iOFFICE, Inc., a software company based in Houston, TX. Before we started chatting, I was curious where our conversation would go, as I already knew that Kaitlan had worked for the same company since she graduated from college four years ago. But of course, I should have known never to underestimate how variable things can be, even though they look seamless on the outside. By the end of our interview, I had a completely different perspective on the individuality and spontaneity of this woman’s career path. Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
 
When you were 17, what did you want to be?
 
I was in a program at my high school called KDGN, which was basically our broadcast service to the high school. We made a video every day, kind of a news program, kind of fun stuff, what’s going on in the school, on campus. My teacher, Ms. Rose, who was just incredible, was the journalism teacher. She focused on traditional broadcast journalism while allowing us to do fun, goofy, high school stuff. I loved that. I loved creating things every day, I loved not sitting at a desk. We got to leave campus, we got to come up with really fun skits. I was always in those creative and kind of nerdy classes, and this was a way to do that and have it be cool.

    What is the When I Was 17 Project?

    When I Was 17 is a blog series dedicated to collecting the varied stories of people's career paths, what they envisioned themselves doing when they were teenagers and how that evolved over the course of their lives. I started this project with the goal of illustrating that it's okay not to know exactly what you want to do when you're 17; many successful people didn't, and these are a few of their stories.
