What We Know About Her Personal Life

Born in September 1987 to Mark and Sherry in India, Sheena Parveen was brought up in Florida where her family moved to when she was still a little girl.

She was quite athletic while growing up and was active in several sports in her days as a high school student, including football and volleyball which she got to play for the school team.

Being a rather private person, Parveen has always kept her personal life under wraps. On the dating scene, she has been a subject of a lot of unconfirmed speculations in the past.

The Men She Has Been Linked To

There have been rumors linking her to people like Hugh Jackson and Stock Harnett who is the swap captain of NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers and the left-winger of Canada’s professional ice hockey team. As it would turn out, like all other men she has been linked to, there was nothing between them.

Sheena was also linked to William Green, former NBC 10 anchor Jamison Uhler, as well as Hollywood actor Jason Statham. The rumor that she was dating Statham was quick to be dismissed when it was revealed that she only met him during one of her news coverage segments.

News once broke that the beautiful weather woman was married to a man named Charlie. It was also claimed later, that the two were having problems in marriage before they later divorced. However, while there is nothing to support this claim, Parveen did not comment on it, keeping mute as she has done in her other relationship rumours.

Sheena Parveen’s Career History

Sheena Parveen’s career path was set when she attended Florida State University where she studied Meteorology, eventually graduating with a minor in Mathematics and a Bachelor’s degree in Meteorology in 2008. Before she started her professional career, she had her internship at Tallahassee News.

She Began Her Professional Career At WCTV In 2008

Armed with her Bachelor’s degree and a bit of experience, Sheena Parveen was ready to get her professional career going immediately after graduation. In 2008, the same year she left college, Parveen got her first official working experience from WCTV, a TV station stationed in Tallahassee. Sheena worked there as a weather forecaster. Her stint with the TV station lasted from June 2008 to August 2009 making it exactly 1 year and 3 months. Additionally, Parveen served as a columnist for the TV-owned publication.

FOX13 and Other FOX Affiliates (2009 – 2011)

About a month after leaving WCTV, Parveen got another job as a meteorologist at FOX13. Her new role saw her move to Tampa still in her native Florida. Sheena served as a meteorologist for Fox13 for more than two years from 2009 to 2011 before she gained promotion to take up the position of the head forecaster.

Parveen served as the lead forecaster and on-air meteorologist on the weekend morning show Good Day Tampa Bay which aired on FOX affiliate WTVT. Her passion for the environment also saw her report on environmental topics throughout the week on the same station. Every Sunday morning, Parveen who is an animal lover hosted a pet adoption segment with the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. As a pet adoption advocate, Parveen has done well to put her money where her mouth is. She owns two rescue dogs, one from Georgia and the other from a country in Africa.

WCAU (NBC10): 2011 to 2016

Her work with NBC News began in Philadelphia’s WCAU. It was the first time she was working outside her native Florida, not wanting to let go of her favorite pass time which is water hobbies, Parveen ordered a paddleboard from San Diego and had it shipped to Philly. She has since described this as one of the best decisions she’s ever made.

For the next 5 years and two months, Sheena Parveen served as the evening meteorologist for WCAU. When she first began at WCAU, she provided weather reporting for NBC 10 Philadelphia’s 11 AM newscast in addition to contributing to NBC 10 News at 4, 5, and 6 PM. In Philly, she worked with Chief Meteorologist Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz, as well as other experienced meteorologists such as Bill Henley, Michelle Grossman, and Dave Warren.

When it was announced that Parveen was leaving Florida for a new challenge in Philly, the then 25-year-old meteorologist declined to reveal details of her new job until her new station NBC 10 in a statement released by the then Vice President Chris Blackman confirmed that she was the station’s new addition. Parveen’s 5-year stay with the station was no doubt successful and memorable, among her memorable contributions was when she covered the 2013 EF5 tornado that rocked an elementary school in Moore, Oklahoma.

WRC (NBC4): 2016 to 2018

In December 2016, Parveen was yet again ready for a new challenge when she moved to another NBC affiliate WRC, this time, in Washington D.C.

KNSD (NBC7)

Having settled into a morning shift in D.C after 5 years on a night shift at Philly, Parveen moved to San Diego California to continue with a morning shift with yet another NBC affiliate. Sheena Parveen has covered a range of weather conditions including hurricanes, blizzards, and tornadoes.
