Sheila graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Radio Television and Film. Beginning in 1994, she immersed herself in the film industry, volunteering for numerous films and festivals and working as an extra on a variety of projects. Little did she know at the time that working as an extra would be the jumping off point in her career in film. In 1997 Sheila started working in the Extras Casting Department on “Hope Floats.” Today, she continues her work as a casting associate with Beth Sepko Casting, whose credits include the Emmy-winning NBC series Friday Night Lights as well as innumerable films and commercials.
