Before entering into academia I served as a news writer, editor and producer for NBC for nearly nine years, working for top-rated and award winning broadcasts such as NBC News Overnight, Today and NBC Nightly News.
I then took on the role of executive producer at Spanish International Network, which now has the largest audience of Spanish-language television viewers in the world. In my tenure there, I oversaw the development of the Univision brand into a network news, sports and public affairs programming powerhouse.

Helen Keller meets her miracle worker. Anne Sullivan begins teaching six-year-old Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing after a severe illness at the age of 19 months. Under Sullivan's tutelage, including her pioneering "touch teaching" techniques, the previously uncontrollable Keller flourished, eventually graduating from college and becoming an international lecturer and activist. Sullivan, later dubbed "the miracle worker," remained Keller's interpreter and constant companion until the older woman's death in 1936.
Just tell them how you feel: many women like is a determined man. Everyday is valentines day.
Make her laugh: Be funny, the majority of people we like to be with are happy, she will get the message and you will enjoy it.

Too many folks seem to spend much of their waking lives tethered to technology, but today was a chance to disconnect.
Recent surveys find that no-mobile-phobia causes panic in most, and that 58 percent of US can't live without our cell phones for more than an hour. Does this sound like you?
