Full Bio

Betty Nguyen is an award-winning journalist and humanitarian whose work has taken her across the globe. Her striking authenticity and powerful storytelling moves audiences to explore pressing issues that affect us all. Nguyen’s personal journey of fleeing a war-torn country and being shuttled through refugee camps before making America her home illustrates a universal theme. No matter how diverse our experiences, we all have the power within us to overcome obstacles and find the true meaning of success and happiness.

Nguyen has spent her entire career covering some of the most important issues of our time. As an anchor for NBC News and MSNBC, Nguyen covered the 2016 Presidential election, the Boston Marathon bombings, the election of Pope Francis, the birth of Prince George and the death of Nelson Mandela. Before her move to NBC, she anchored The CBS Morning News and reported for CBS This Morning, where she covered the 2012 Presidential election, the death of Osama Bin Laden, the Royal wedding and the Gulf oil spill. Prior to that, Nguyen anchored the weekend edition of CNN Newsroom where she contributed to CNN’s coverage of Hurricane Katrina that earned a George Foster Peabody Award and coverage of the 2006 tsunami in South Asia that won an Alfred I. duPont award. Her reports from around the world and interviews with newsmakers and global leaders have made her a well-respected speaker on the issues of diversity, media and humanitarian aid.

Betty Nguyen is the co-founder of Help the Hungry, a global non-profit organization that aims to alleviate hunger and provide humanitarian aid to those in need. Her broad audience appeal and engaging personality makes Betty Nguyen the perfect keynote speaker for conferences and universities alike.
