Caroline – QA and Assurance Assistant, USA

Quality and Assurance Assistant for Benchmark Genetics in the USA, Caroline Capobianco, discusses her experience of working as a woman in the Aquaculture industry.

Why do you think it is important for women to work in STEM careers?

I think it’s important for women to work in STEM careers because we can contribute just as much to these careers as our male counterparts.

Can you name a woman in the scientific sphere who inspires you?

I have been blessed to work under some fantastic female supervisors that inspire me everyday including Laura Stewart and Ileana Morales.

What do you love most about your job?

I love that every day brings a new challenge. It keeps me engaged.

How have you experienced being a woman in the science sector?

I did experience some gender bias in previous jobs in the aquaculture industry; however, I was able to demonstrate that I could do my job well. I feel like my contributions are valued and celebrated at Benchmark and I’m proud to be an employee here.
