My path into mammography began unexpectedly in 2010 while I was midway through my radiology degree at St. Vincent’s College. One of my professors paused during class, looked at me, and said, “Sheila, you would be good at mammography.” I hadn’t considered it before, but that simple moment planted a seed. When I was offered mammography training in my first radiology position, I took the leap—and that decision shaped the course of my career. It was also where I met Sara, and studying for boards together forged a lasting friendship built on perseverance, laughter, and a shared commitment to patient-centered care.

​

Over the years, that friendship has grown into meaningful collaboration through BOSOMii and the community we continue to build. Outside of work, I dedicate my time to my daughters, pets, friends, and family. I’m happiest outdoors—whether hiking, biking, boating, traveling (especially to Europe), or simply spending time at the beach. When I reflect on my career, I feel grateful for the unexpected turns that led me here and proud to serve the same community where I grew up.
