NCTJ journalism diploma student Nicki Halliday covered a meeting with Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates while doing work experience.
Nicky covered the story while working for the News Shopper, South London.
She tells us: 'I took a call in the office from Deptford Green School, New Cross, who had Bill Gates delivering a motivational speech to year 11 students.
'I went with one of the reporters, Nina Massey, to cover the story. I was also on Channel 4 news! This was my 15 minutes of fame.'
Nicki was there interviewing pupils and teachers.
She is due to complete her NCTJ course with CTJT this year.
CTJT director Cleland Thom said: 'I'm always telling our students that journalists never know who they might meet. They don't come much bigger than Bill Gates!'
