Breaking Barriers by Inspiring Girls in STEM
The series aims to inspire and empower young girls to pursue careers in STEM by showcasing the stories of successful women who have overcome obstacles and achieved great success in their respective fields.

The UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) and the UCLA Chapter of the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) present our Girls in STEM Video Series: The goal of the series is to introduce young students to the occupations and disciplines that are a part of a modern cancer center’s treatment, research and administration. Each video will feature an AMWA member interviewing a member of the JCCC team - from doctors, researchers and nurses to lab technicians, computer scientists, fundraising professionals and executive staff. We want to show that studying STEM subjects opens up a world of opportunities to young students considering careers in the medical field.
