Beth Holloway

Elizabeth Ann Reynolds Holloway is a speech pathologist and motivational speaker, known for her extensive experience in working with children with special needs for over two decades. Her life took a dramatic turn when her daughter, Natalee, disappeared while on a high school graduation trip to Aruba in 2005.

Following her daughter's disappearance, Holloway became a prominent figure in public safety advocacy. She founded the International Safe Travels Foundation—to educate the public to help them travel more safely—and the Natalee Holloway Resource Center to support families of missing persons. She also offers a half-day Travel-Ed Workshop aimed at educating the public on safer travel protocols.

Barbara Walters recognized Holloway as one of the world’s most fascinating people for her unyielding efforts in seeking justice for her daughter and her resilience in the face of adversity. Holloway has been featured in various media platforms, including an ABC 20/20 documentary that aired in November 2019.

Holloway leverages her personal story to deliver powerful messages of hope, faith, and personal safety, having addressed audiences across a wide range of venues, including educational institutions, religious organizations, and professional associations. Her keynote speeches, such as "Victim to Victor" and "Phases of Hope," share her journey and strategies for overcoming adversity. As a New York Times Best Selling author of "Loving Natalee," which was also adapted into a Lifetime Movie, Holloway continues to inspire and educate others on personal safety and resilience.
