TV newswoman Natalie Morales

Natalie Morales is one of the most recognizable faces on NBC News.


The daughter of a Puerto Rican father and a Brazilian mother, Ms. Morales worked on local cable news and at NBC affiliate WVIT-TV in Hartford before joining the National Broadcasting Company's news department.   She was first at the network's sister cable channel MSNBC, where she covered the 2004 presidential election and the Iraq War, and then in 2006 joined NBC's "Today" as a correspondent.  She became a regular host in 2011 and has been the show's West Coast anchor since 2016.

Fun fact: Although Ms. Morales was raised in Delaware, she was born in Taiwan.  Her father was a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force.
