Her father was an insurance executive and her mother was a horse trader from Denver, Colorado.  She considers her parents to be the greatest influencers in her life; her father taught her the importance of hard work and sticking to a project and her mother taught her to believe in herself.

She was truly hooked!

Career

Nauert’s television reporting career began in the late 1990’s. Her first job was in 1996 as a reporter for the syndicated business news program First Business. She also worked as a government affairs consultant on tax, health insurance and issues related to Social Security in Washington D.C.

Heather has said that she'll never forget interviewing the people whose relatives died on 9/11. Two days after the attacks, a Family Center was established in New York City to serve as a clearinghouse for information about missing relatives.  Heather was sent there to give hourly news updates and she said that when she arrived, families desperate for information approached her, hoping she might know where their husband or wife was. She said that she still remembers looking into their eyes; they were filled with so much sadness and desperation. She recounts that it was heartbreaking to talk with them because many believed that their family member was still alive somewhere. She said that, to this day, she looks at those interviews and cries when because she remembers the overwhelming sadness.

Trivia

Heather was asked to name a thing she can't live without and her answer was, without a doubt, cheese. She thinks fancy cheese is nice, but her favorite is from Wisconsin. Heather loves to read biographies, particularly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_Graham">Katherine Graham</a>'s. She thinks that the book "The Endurance" about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Shackleton">Sir</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Shackleton">Ernest Shackleton</a>'s journey across Antarctica is an incredible story of courage, true grit and leadership.

Heather's first car was a big, white Oldsmobile station wagon. She called it "The Mighty Wagon". She is a huge <a href="/biography/heather-nauert">fan</a> of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but her all-time favorite is "The Sound of Music," and she'll see just about any movie that stars <a href="/biography/jackie-sandler">Adam Sandler</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Candy">John Candy</a>. Heather owns a karaoke machine, she also own a crock pot, which gets used a lot in the winter thanks to her Midwestern roots.

Current

On April 24, 2017 The Department of State welcomed Heather Nauert as the new <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spokesperson_for_the_United_States_Department_of_State">State Department Spokesperson</a>. Heather Nauert was generally well received by her State Department colleagues, and widely viewed as a competent spokesperson who diligently educated herself on a large range of international issues. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Wharton">Bruce Wharton</a>, a former ambassador and Foreign Service <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Wharton">officer</a> who overlapped with Nauert while serving as the acting under-secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, says of Nauert: “Switching from reading from a teleprompter to having to master an entire book of global events was a very tough thing to do, but I think she did it very well."

But the transition from news anchor to State Department Spokeswoman was not completely smooth.  Nauert made a remarkable slip when she cited the D-Day invasion as an example of America’s “very strong relationship with the government of Germany.” During the D-Day invasion on 6 June, 1944, around 156,000 British, American, Canadian and other Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to establish a foothold in Nazi-occupied France. Nauert was skewered on Twitter with one user saying  “Dear @StateDept: You have six months to educate Heather Nauert on the history and significance of Pearl Harbor before she cites it as an example of strong US-Japan relations. Get to it – you may need some time to catch her up.”

Nevertheless, On March 13, 2018, Heather Nauert was designated as Acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs. It was also announced that she would continue to serve as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spokesperson_for_the_United_States_Department_of_State">State Department Spokesperson</a> thereby filling both roles. Nauert arrived in Washington without any foreign policy, government, or political experience, but she had something more important; an unwavering willingness to support and defend <a href="/biography/donald-trump">President</a> <a href="/biography/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>.

On November 2, 2018, according to sources familiar with the matter, <a href="/biography/donald-trump">President</a> <a href="/biography/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> told advisers that Heather Nauert is his leading choice to become US ambassador to the United Nations and that he could offer her the post as soon as this week. If named as Ambassador, Nauert would leave her role at the State Department to take over from former UN <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Haley">Ambassador</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Haley">Nikki Haley</a>, who surprised White House officials last month when she announced her decision to step down at the end of the year. <a href="/biography/donald-trump">Trump</a> said of Nauret "She's excellent. She's been with us a long time. She's been a <a href="/biography/heather-nauert">supporter</a> for a long time. And she's really excellent.”
