Instructor Profile: Sharon Phillips

It’s not the typical program most people think about when they think about CareerTech opportunities. When asked about this, Phillips says, “A lot of programs provide opportunities to get certifications and while some do prepare for higher ed, many of the other programs can lead to well-paying careers right after graduation. Our Biotech program is different. It is open to all high school students and we encourage anyone interested in science to check us out. Our primary focus with this program is to build excellent foundations and prepare our students for science-related futures in college.”
