Dr. Nivea L. Torres is the Executive Director of the Kindergarten Readiness Collaborative and the host of Moonshot Radio. This weekly radio show provides a platform for local partners and agencies in Indian River County, FL to share information about early childhood development, kindergarten readiness, and literacy by the third grade.
Upon graduating college, I started my career as a Production Director for the World's largest magazine publisher, Hachette Filipacchi Media (Elle, Car and Driver, Road and Track, etc…). After 10 years (and two children) I left that position and started my own advertising firm that specialized in “marketing makeovers” that helped to brand companies. After the birth of my second daughter and a roller-coaster ride of getting diagnosis’s for her special needs, I had an idea to put together a magazine that helped parents of children with special needs to address their issues and concerns about raising a child with special needs. I decided to tap into my skills and launch Parenting Special Needs Magazine and chose to make it a FREE, on-line, bi-monthly publication accessible anytime and anywhere.
