There is a scarcity of information regarding Sharon Reed’s exact birthdate, parents, family, childhood, and elementary education. However, it is no secret that she hails from Cleveland, Ohio. For her tertiary education, Reed first studied English and Government at Georgetown University. Dissatisfied with just a bachelor’s degree, an ambitious Reed proceeded to bag a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University.
It is uncertain if Sharon Reed did any other jobs before debuting as a broadcaster. Her first job in front of the camera came in 2002, working as an anchor for two Ohio-based stations WOIO and WUAB. Reed didn’t work directly with the networks but through a syndicated station Cleveland 19 WOIO. She remained with the station for ten years, appearing mostly as an evening anchor for various programmes. Thereafter, between December 2005 and June 2006, the journalist had a brief stint as a field reporter, covering games and interviews for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Though she ceased to be a sideline reporter and handled other assignments, Reed remained with Cleveland until late 2012.
Next, she landed another job as an anchor/reporter for KMOV in St. Louis. She later left the network and joined Atlanta-based station CBS46 as an evening reporter and anchor on weekday nights in June 2015. After four years at CBS46, Sharon Reed left the network at the expiration of her contract in May 2019. According to the news anchor who is passionate about her job, it was a difficult decision but she had some exciting projects which she needed to explore full-time.
