Pageantry and Early Career

In 1993, Regan was crowned Miss New Hampshire and went on to represent her state in the Miss America 1994 pageant. Her interest in communication and performance dovetailed into a broadcasting career that began shortly thereafter.

Broadcasting Career at CBS News and CNBC

Regan began her journalism career at CBS News, where she worked as a correspondent for the CBS Evening News and other CBS programs. During her time there, she reported extensively on political and economic developments in Latin America. Notably, she covered terrorism financing in South America, including a significant investigation into the Tri-Border region, a known haven for illicit finance activity near the intersection of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil.

Her investigative reporting earned her an Emmy nomination in 2007 for her coverage of connections between the Tri-Border region and Islamic terrorist organizations. At CNBC, she continued her focus on global affairs, reporting on the link between piracy and terrorist groups from Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, one of the more volatile zones in South America.

Transition to Bloomberg Television

After leaving CNBC in March 2011, Regan joined Bloomberg Television later that year. She became the anchor of the financial news program Street Smart. During this era in her career, she also contributed economic analysis and reports to other major outlets, including NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, MSNBC, and The Chris Matthews Show. Her on-air experience included anchoring for a CBS-owned station in San Francisco, which further prepared her for national-level business journalism.

Fox Business Network and International Coverage

In March 2015, Fox Business Network announced Trish Regan would join the network as an anchor and markets reporter. Over her career, she has led in-depth reports on diverse topics ranging from U.S.–Russia relations—covered notably during a G8 summit in Germany—to Brazil's economic development and the prospective benefits of Canada's sub-Arctic oil sands exploration.
