Bovanna Phillips ’21

Human Services (A.S. degree)

This fall, Bovanna will be transferring to SUNY Empire State College for her bachelor’s degree in Community and Human Services. She plans to continue on for her master’s degree in Business Management. 

Bovanna works full time as an On-Call Counselor at St. Anne Institute. “I have hope that the teenagers I work with will do well and believe in themselves. It gives me a deep sense of fulfillment. I want them to remember that there are people who love you and support you and want to see you do well.”

Human Services is something that Bovanna has been doing since she was a teenager herself by helping with scholarship fundraisers, working at an afterschool program, and joining community groups. 

She plans to impact the lives of even more young people in the future by becoming involved in different levels of human services care for children. “I want to ensure that children are properly placed and get the support that they need.”
