My Meeting with Beatrice Leonard

On September 5, 2013, I traveled to 101 Madison St, Oak Park IL 60302 to meet with Beatrice Leonard about an internship with her company Travelers with Disabilities Having Fun. I arrived at 9AM and was surprised when I was greeted by Ms. Leonard's huge guide dog Gabriel. This is when I learned that Ms. Leonard is visually impaired and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that she traveled locally an abroad to show people that whether you are disabled or not you can still enjoy your adventures. Ms. Leonard gave me an in-depth interview where she inquired about my interests, skills and needs. I told Ms. Leonard that I was a television production student at Kennedy-King College and that I want to learn all aspects of the business but I was most interested in advancing my editing skills. Ms. Leonard and I sat in her office and reviewed footage of the many places that she had traveled to since 2010. She asked me want would I be interested and working on the footage to enhance my editing skills and of course I said YES! Ms. Leonard told me that she would like me to take the footage and edit it. We also discussed how long she has been in the media industry and how she had been unlucky with prior interns. She told me that she would like me to contact her everyday via telephone from Monday to Friday and come to the office two to four times a week to discussed my progress on the footage a assist with other duties and she also told me that would be shooting on location one to two times a month. I am really excited about my new internship and I look forward to working with Ms. Leonard and her crew especially on the shoots that we will do on location.
