She’s the president’s daughter who tried to keep a low profile until her mother ran for the White House and she later married an investment banker.
Now Chelsea Clinton, 31, is thrusting herself further into the public spotlight as she becomes a full-time special correspondent for NBC News.
Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter is going to work on a series that highlights volunteers improving the lives of people in their communities
Ms Clinton will start work today on the NBC Nightly News series ‘Making a Difference’ and wants to donate all of her earnings to charity.
She has been raising her profile and spoke at more than 400 town halls to support her mother’s presidential run, reported the New York Times.
NBC News president Steve Capus told the New York Times the idea of her presenting ‘captivating feature assignments… really kind of synced up’.
Ms Clinton quoted her grandmother’s adage of: ‘Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you’.
A source close to her said Ms Clinton is donating her earnings to the Clinton Foundation and the George Washington University Hospital.
‘She wants to be in the field for the shoot and in the edit room for the edit'

This will be done in the name of her grandmother Dorothy Rodham, who died earlier this month at age 92 after an illness.
But she is not the first president’s daughter to work for NBC News. George W. Bush’s daughter Jenna Bush Hager works on the ‘Today’ show.
And Meghan McCain, daughter of former presidential candidate Senator John McCain, is an MSNBC contributor.
‘She wants to be in the field for the shoot and in the edit room for the edit,’ Mr Capus told the New York Times.
‘We both want to see how this goes. It will be full time for the near-term future. But I hope it’s the beginning of a nice, long-term relationship.’
Ms Clinton made hundreds of public appearances when her mother Hillary, now Secretary of State, ran for the White House in 2007.
She is married to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky - and has also worked for New York University, reported the Huffington Post.
