Heather Foord
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heather Foord has been a presenter with National Nine News in Queensland for over 20 years. She currently co-anchors the main weekday news with Bruce Paige, and has also co-anchored the weekend news in the past. For three weeks from Monday, 8 October 2007, Foord presented the news bulletins for the Nine Network's Today program, an additional duty requiring her to fly between Sydney and Brisbane daily.
Foord attended Brisbane State High School for her secondary education. After graduating from the University of Queensland, Foord worked with Good Morning Australia at Network Ten before joining National Nine News as a reporter. She quickly made the transition to news reader, taking a weekend hosting position after 6 months.
While her daughters India, Grace, Riley and Maya were young, Heather returned to the weekend news desk so she could spend more time with her family, but returned to the main desk in 2003 where she continues to this day.
Aside from working on National Nine News, Heather is an advocate supporting sufferers of cerebral palsy, a condition which affects her nephew.
