Shereen pursued a career in the entertainment industry, following in the footsteps of her father Mahmoud Reda, and his brother, who founded the Reda Troupe for Egyptian folklore dance. She then starred in two consecutive films with the late actor Ahmed Zaki, playing the role of a deceived, classy wife in the film NAZWA (1996) and an innocent daughter of a corrupt wealthy man in HASSAN EL LOL (1997).

She returned to the silver screen as Deja - a mysterious tattoo artist - in the film THE BLUE ELEPHANT (2014),which was one of Egypt's most successful films of that year.
Shereen surprised everyone in 2015 with a powerful and deep performance in the film OUT OF ORDER, in which she played a widow who spends her life watching the world around her go up in flames and begins an odd relationship with a young man who lives a life of vagrancy and with whom she gradually slides into the world of drug abuse. The role earned her widespread critical acclaim and the Best Actress award at the 42nd Egyptian Cinema Film Association Festival.
Since then, she has become an unstoppable powerhouse of talent, with her performance in the film PHOTOCOPY earning her the Best Actress in a Leading Role Award at the Egyptian Cinema Film Association Festival. She then portrayed Mimi - the wife of an author and philosopher whose writings sparked controversy - in THE GUEST, which garnered her the Excellence Award at the Egyptian Association of Film Writers and Critics.
