Meet Cassandra Perez

Cassandra Perez, resident of Compton, engaged fully in the Bio-Flex Pre-Apprenticeship program while completing her senior year at Dominguez High School. She successfully finished the Blueprint for Workplace Success course, as well as gaining technical skills in laboratory bio safety, pharmaceutical discovery, and gene therapy, along with valuable hands-on Amgen Biotech Experience.

Through interactions with SBWIB staff, Compton College, and the LA Promise Fund, she explored diverse career pathways in the LA life sciences. Funding for Cassandra’s training was provided by Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, which also awarded her a $500 stipend upon completion. Cassandra is now pursuing a major in the sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles.
