      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Jennifer Miles has been working in television and media for over 20 years, at ABC/Disney, then AT&T and now Disney again. I originally met her when she was at AT&T/DirecTV, helping us build creative social media campaigns in support of Fullscreen's video subscription service. She's a total pro, a generous, creative soul and someone who knows everyone.</p><p>She's also currently the President of the Southern California chapter of Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT), empowering female careers, networking and advancement in the media industry.
