The person I chose to write my profile on is Danielle Boushey. She is a friend and coworker of mine. I chose Danielle because she is one of those super charming people you just can't help but like right away. I really enjoy her company; she has so much energy and she is so honest and real it's refreshing. She is also very interfering because she has two part time jobs, is a full time student, and still manages to have a ton of friends and a boyfriend in the military who she can find time to spend time with whenever he is home.
During my interview I really hope to learn more about Danielle. She is so interesting and open and honest that I feel it will be really fun to interview her! I also can't wait to practice my active listening skills (I'm an interrupter; at my house if you want anything to be heard you better shout it louder over the person who's talking at the same time!) and my note-taking skills. The last interview I did I looked back on my notes and realized they made no sense at all to me; I ended up having to email the person and follow up on things that were unclear in my notes. It was quite embarrassing and I'm determined to not have it happen again.
My plan to capture interesting quotes is to record the conversation if its okay with Danielle and put stars by points in the interview where good quotes may be located. I also want to ask questions that require thinking; if they're thinking the quotes should be easier to come by :) I'm really excited to do this profile piece, I adore talking to people and writing about them, so this is right up my alley!!
