Sharon Pfeifer
National Online Journalist
Sharon Pfeifer joined Global News in October 2017, bringing with her a passion for community and contribution.
Having grown up in rural Manitoba, Sharon still considers herself a ‘small town’ girl. She stumbled into radio in Kenora Ont., and immediately fell in love with the ever-changing world of broadcasting.
Sharon honed her storytelling skills as reporter/anchor for Island Radio in Nanaimo B.C., and in west Winnipeg as Community Correspondent for the Canstar Metro.
She stepped away from media for a number of years to raise her family, venturing into small business, administration, marketing and early childhood learning.
After 18 months as Online Producer for Global Winnipeg, Sharon and her family relocated to the Niagara Region in 2019 where she gained the title of National Online Journalist, contributing to the work of reporters across the country as an editor on the national copy desk.
