Immediately following the September 11 terrorist attacks, Curry reported extensively from "ground zero" at the World Trade Center site, interviewing firefighters, local officials, emergency workers and victims of the attack.

As a correspondent for Dateline NBC, Curry scored an exclusive interview with the parents of the Iowa septuplets in 1997. Curry was the only reporter who was allowed full access into the hospital, the community and the McCaughey family. Since then, she has conducted follow-up interviews each year, updating viewers on the children's progress. Curry also traveled to the Balkans in April, 1999 to report on the humanitarian refugee crisis in Kosovo. She was the first network news anchor on the scene, filing reports from Albania and Macedonia.

Before coming to NBC, Curry had been a reporter for KCBS in Los Angeles since 1984. There, she earned an Emmy Award for her live coverage of the October 1987 Los Angeles earthquake and another for her coverage of the explosion of a gas pipeline in San Bernardino. From 1981 to 1984, Curry was a reporter and anchor for KGW, the NBC affiliate in Portland, Oregon.
