Kathleen Maloney / 2010 Top 40 Under 40

Age 38 Place of Birth Dunmore, Co. Galway Where you live Wallingford, CT First Job Waitress What it taught me The invaluable lesson of preparing, planning and multitasking. To this day I like to hire people who were waitstaff during college. Status Married Family Shane Malone, and sons Dara and Murphy Malone Three things people would be surprised to know about me 1. I'd rather starve than cook. 2. I'm a staunch feminist but love "Rescue Me" even though the female characters are cartoons. 3. I taught American Constitution as a Grad. Assistant in St. John's, big Galway accent and all! Best advice you could give someone starting out Be fearless and work as hard as you can. The long hours don't last forever but they should be part and parcel of your first few years of work. Speak up often and be bold.
