Heroes
My mom - A brilliant, independent, strong, humble, highly successful woman, who has sacrificed more than anyone can imagine for me to have unlimited opportunities. She's a hard act to follow, the day I become a mother. She's taught me the value of a dollar. My mom has shown me that honest, hard work yields the best rewards (not cheating the welfare system to get undeserved handouts), and that no one is too good to do even the most humble task. My mom proves that if your heart is in it, you can be both a career woman and a great mom who gives your daughter more attention than she could ever ask for -- private school, ballet and voice lessons, Chinese school, dinners at nice restaurants, family time, church, exotic vacations overseas... my mom has given me everything.

About me: I'M NOT YOUR TYPICAL TV REPORTER/ANCHOR. I love math, majored in economics, made a perfect score on the PSAT writing exam, and got near-perfect scores on other sections of the SAT and SAT II. I speak four languages and am familiar with several others. I'm a ballet dancer and opera singer. I also enjoy ballroom, hip hop, and modern dance; I like singing pop and jazz, too. I've traveled around the world to hundreds of cities in 15 countries on four continents. I'm all-natural -- never had hair coloring, fake tan, cosmetic surgery, braces, or retainers. I love exotic and spicy foods. I'm bold, hard-working, moral, and brutally honest. I hate laziness, dishonesty, corruption, and waste, which is why my heart is in investigative reporting. I love animals and support several animal-rescue charities. In the past, I've modeled, acted, and made films. Learn more at julietam.com.

Hi Julie! Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot coming from such a wonderful journalist as yourself. I love doing those reports. I just got my first emmy nomination for them. Enough about me... how are you? Getting ready for the derby? Did you do the FBI citizen story for sweeps? It looks like the course was a lot of fun!!! Hope all is well ... and I hope your husband won the Tide competition!! I voted many times.
TOTALLY cracked me up today with your voicemail... loved it! unfortunately had to get back to work immediately, but laughing instead of the alternative... thanks!
