Helga Silva has an important place in the history of Spanish News in the USA. One can’t talk Spanish News without talking Helga Silva. She has been forming news professionals for over 2 decades and brought high standards and great insight to the Spanish world of news and television. She has touched many lives on and off-air and she will continue to kick a** every where she goes, leaving a fine and elegant print. Congratulations, Helga and Telemundo.
