[edit] Education
Nguyen was born in Vietnam and became an American citizen at age ten. She grew up in San Jose and Santa Rosa,[1] and graduated from Piner High School as the valedictorian, which won her a scholarship with the University of San Francisco. There, she continued her academic performance and graduated as valedictorian with a major degree in communications and a minor one in biology.
[edit] Broadcasting career
Shortly after graduating, Nguyen was offered a job at a local station in Orlando, Florida. Lured both by the opportunity of working as a television reporter for the first time and also by the idea of having major biology-themed parks nearby, she moved to Orlando and began to work for Central Florida News 13.
Nguyen accepted an offer from KOLO in Reno after her stint in Orlando ended. Having returned to the American West, she became a local celebrity in Reno.
In January 2004, Nguyen moved to Phoenix and joined Fox 10's news team. As sometimes happens with Phoenix news reporters, she has become a local celebrity there as well, and is well known for her coverage of difficult subjects and news, such as the shootout in 2005 between a group of Phoenix police officers and an armed man inside an exclusive residential area.
In January 2007, Nguyen moved to the Bay Area and currently reports for NBC O&O KNTV. Nguyen currently serves as the general assignment reporter for KNTV, as well as contributing to Sports Sunday and TechNow.
