Anneliese Turck joined Sun Valley Community School in 2015 and serves as a part-time Marketing + Communications Associate. She assists the Director of Marketing + Communications with internal and external communications for the school, including the school's biannual magazine, website, app, newsletters, social media, marketing/advertising, press, public relations, and photography, which includes managing the school archive of more than 850,000 photos.
Anneliese holds a BA in Rhetoric and a minor in German from University of California, Berkeley where she also played Division 1 Field Hockey all four years and was an active member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. She also holds a MS in Journalism (focus on television) from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
Prior to joining the school, Anneliese spent 18 years in New York City where she served in editorial roles for American Express Publishing's Travel + Leisure Golf, and numerous freelance and volunteer positions in the field of journalism for organizations such as CNN, NY1 News, Pelham Art Center, PACT, Prospect Hill Elementary School, and Junior League of Pelham. Despite her loyalty to New York, she is a Bay Area native, having grown up in Los Altos Hills, California.
She and her husband, Matt, have two children, Parker (Wood River High School Class of '23, current University of Pennsylvania student, and Class of 2027 Michigan State University) and Easton (SVCS Class of 2025, University of Utah Class of 2029) along with two dogs: "Shelter Special" Harry and Mo, a native of Boise. When she isn't taking photos or writing, Anneliese can be found on the golf course, hiking local trails with her puppies, tending to her pollinator plants, and watching every Cutthroat soccer game no matter the distance. She is also frequently behind the wheel driving to destinations beyond the Wood River Valley for everything from soccer to skiing to equestrian to hockey. Why? Because life is short.
