Background Information
Majored in Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology.
Two years before Day 5, Shari worked with Miles Papazian at CTU San Francisco. She filed a grievance for sexual harrassment, but with no solid evidence to back her claims, Miles was let off with a warning.
Day 5
On Day 5, Bill Buchanan reassigned Shari from "section five, downstairs" to take over Edgar's workload after the Sentox nerve gas attack on CTU. She was only provisionally qualified for Level Three technical work, though her Chemistry expertise led CTU to Wilshire Gas Company, the natural gas distribution center where Vladimir Bierko planned to release the remainder of his Sentox supply.
Knowing that Bierko would have to lower the pressure of the gas running through the pipes before releasing the Sentox into the supply, Shari pointed out to Buchanan and Chloe O'Brian that they could find which center Bierko was after by monitoring the PSI at each one. Because of her knowledge, Jack Bauer was able to destroy the center before the Sentox could be released into 90,000 homes.
Between 11PM and 12AM, Shari was in charge of checking satelite logs, and noticed that one of the satelites was being used covertly. Shari alerted Chloe, who discovered the satelite was being used by DHS director Karen Hayes (now in charge of CTU Los Angelos) to track Audrey Raines.
