After graduating from the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program in 2023, she brought with her a uniquely well-rounded background — six years in the U.S. Army, five years in Human Resources, and a stint in the fitness world helping others chase their goals (and maybe a few sore muscles).

Cambrey is passionate about patient care and loves being part of a team that truly supports women’s health — especially since her own daughter was delivered by Dr. Sepesi! When she’s not scanning, you can usually find her knee-deep in a new home project or hanging out with her golden retriever, Moose, who firmly believes he’s her assistant sonographer.
