Sheba Turk Wiki/Bio
In 1989, Sheba Turk was born in East New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. She is the daughter of John Carl Tur and Sharon. Sheba was born in the United States and is of Afro-American descent. Unfortunately, on December 10, 2019, at the age of 64, her father, John Carl Turk, passed away. On a Tuesday, he passed away peacefully at the Ochsner hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Turk received her secondary education at the Dominican High School of St. Mary. Sheba enjoyed writing and was involved in the school's musical theater while she was a student in high school.
Sheba started her post-secondary education at New York University (NYU). She then moved to the University of New Orleans (UNO) to complete her Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in journalism.
Turk's passion for writing first drew her attention to journalism. She earned her degree from the university because of the Starfish Foundation scholarship that Soledad O'Brien established.
Sheba is a co-anchor for the Eyewitness Morning News on WWL-TV in New Orleans. She works for the WWL-TV station. Her participation in musical theater has consistently been a source of immense delight and pride for her. She admits that she misses performing in theater, but she finds it amusing that she still found a way to be a part of a live show.
According to Turk, there are many ways in which theater and television are comparable. Following graduation from high school, she attended New York University for the first half of her career to pursue a degree in creative writing. However, she was eventually forced to return home due to financial constraints.
Sheba's work as a morning news associate producer began in September 2011 on WWL-TV, just a few months after she graduated from the university. She claims that she could not have ever dreamed that she would have been allowed to work as a reporter for WWL-TV at such an early stage in her career. Being a part of the show that many people in New Orleans consider to be the "defining moment" of their morning continues to feel a little unreal.
Turk utilized the spare time she had while working for the station as a Traffic Reporter to work on developing some new tales. In addition to that, she gave her assistance during the storm coverage for Hurricane Isaac in the year 2012 when it occurred. It wasn't long after that when she was promoted to the morning program reporter role, responsible for doing live segments for the morning news.
Sheba subsequently filled the open position of morning anchor. She was promoted and is now a co-anchor on the morning show. There, she presents the news to Eric, Sally, and Mike, which is a significant experience for her.
Turk claims that she watched them in the morning before going to school when she was in college and that the memory is still vivid. In addition, she reveals that she had never, in her wildest dreams, expected that she would be sitting next to them only a few years later.
Turk continues by elaborating that they have all been very supportive of her work and that she has learned a lot from each of them individually. Aside from that, the possibility of hosting The 04 was also presented to Sheba.
