Early Life
Regan was born in Hampton, New Hampshire and graduated cum laude in 2000 from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in U.S. history. She is also an honors graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy. She is fluent in Spanish and speaks Italian.
As a contestant in the Miss America pageant representing her home state of New Hampshire, Regan won the first annual Bernard Wayne award (Wayne was the composer of the theme song 'There She Is, Miss America') for the contestant with the most promise in the performing arts. Regan studied classical voice in Graz, Austria, and at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston before enrolling at Columbia. While still in high school, Regan was awarded first place in the Harvard Musical Association's competition.
Regan began her career working at Goldman Sachs in emerging debt markets covering Latin America, and at the hedge fund D.E. Shaw & Co. Regan has said she never intended to have a career in either finance or news — instead, she grew up believing she would pursue a career in opera.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“the cluttered eyes
of early mysterious night.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
“They borrow words for thoughts they cannot feel,
That with a seeming heart their tongue may speak;
And in their show of life more dead they live
Than those that to the earth with many tears they give.”
—Jones Very (1831–1880)
