Heather Healy
Heather Healy joined the Good Day team as a reporter and multimedia journalist in December 2025. She is so excited to call Florida home and be part of the Tampa Bay community.
Heather was born right outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but "born over Texas soil" thanks to the help of her grandparents in Lubbock, a Ziplock bag full of soil, and the clever thinking of doctors and nurses before her arrival. Six weeks later, her family moved to the DFW area, where she grew up, then went on to study journalism at the University of Oklahoma.
The summer before her senior year at OU, Heather interned at ESPN in Bristol, CT, where she learned, worked, and interacted with professional sports athletes and journalists, which fueled her passion for the industry even more. After graduating in 2015, she began her professional career as a Weekend Sports Anchor/Reporter at KFDM in Beaumont, TX, where she covered local, college, and national sports for over three years. She also had the opportunity to cover Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which sparked her interest in news.
In April 2020, Heather moved to Champaign, IL, to become a Morning News Anchor. She loved starting the community’s day with what they needed to know before heading out the door. She also loved how the news connected her to the community, telling stories in a refreshing new way! After a year of being in the Midwest cold, she was ready to head back south.
In 2021, Heather had the opportunity to become a lifestyle show host and a sideline reporter for high school football in Mobile, AL. She spent just shy of two years hosting a half-hour show every day, sideline reporting during football season, and being a commentator for Mardi Gras parades (fun fact: Mobile is the birthplace of Mardi Gras!).
A couple of years later, she returned to her home state, in Waco, TX, as a morning reporter, getting the Central Texas community’s day started.
In her free time, Heather loves to bake (she’s known for her banana pudding), keep up with all things college football, go to Disney every chance she can, and spend time with friends and family.
