[2] Following university, Foord worked with Good Morning Australia at Network Ten before joining Nine News as a reporter.
She quickly made the transition to news reader, taking a weekend hosting position after 6 months.
For a duration of three weeks in October 2007, Foord also presented the news bulletins for the Nine Network's Today, an additional duty requiring her to fly between Sydney and Brisbane daily.
Melissa Downes was named her successor in 2009, by which point the strong ratings for Nine News Queensland had worn off.
Extra was axed in late June, and Foord moved back to Nine News in July as the weekend presenter.
