Ally Heath is a senior digital producer at Straight Arrow. She covers the West for the newsroom.

She is passionate about helping others better understand what’s happening in their communities and around the world.

Ally studied Broadcast and Digital Journalism at Syracuse University. She previously worked as a producer at 9NEWS (KUSA-TV) in Denver, Colorado, covering the COVID-19 pandemic, major local and national elections, wildfires and environmental issues.

Outside the newsroom, Ally loves spending time outdoors. You’ll frequently find her on a hiking trail, a ski slope or on her bike. She also enjoys gardening, baking and sewing. Ally currently calls Utah’s Salt Lake Valley home with her husband and their dog, Valerie.
