Message from Ruben
The following email is from Ruben Soto sent on 11/15:
Fellow Writers,
I wanted to share with you all in my writers group some personal terrific news.
As most of you know I moved back to Miami in April 2006 after receiving a promotion in my current job as a Provider Relations Specialist. My company, LifeMasters, was granted a government contract to study certain illnesses and my job is to educate the doctors, home health agencies, and other health related organizations that have our patients about the services we provide.
The Center for Medicaid and Medicare granted us a 3-year demonstration phase that began in January 2005 and ended this December 2007.
Well, on Monday we got news that they decided to renew it for another 3 years and it was the best news we could get before the holidays. All of the Florida employees are elated and I am also very thankful since we get to keep our jobs.
This is the best job I have had. This also means that I can continue studying and eventually completing my certificate in TV Journalism at UM next April 2008. My short term goal is to become a Medical/Health Reporter and my long term goal is to become an Anchor. I was an Anchor/Reporter for the NBC TV station in Laredo, TX from 2001-2002 and I have always longed to return to this profession.
It also means I will continue with The Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of Miami. Today I met with Ingrid Rogers from the Cintas Foundation, to see how we can work closer with their foundation to promote the winners of the Creative Writers Fellowship. As you may recall from Marcelas Landres' newsletter, this foundation is for artists and writers of Cuban descent. I did not know they had a presence in Miami (since it's based in New York). The meeting went very well and we hope to partner up next year for a special event.
I know the San Antonio group would like for me to return, but it seems for now I'm staying in Miami.
Just thought I'd share this with you all.
Ruben
