Board: ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Kathryn Walker, a CRM business analyst at Artisan Partners, exemplifies what it means to give back to the community as she leverages her professional experience to enhance her service on the ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis board, said Ellen Friebert Schupper, ABCD executive director.
Diagnosed with breast cancer at 28 years old, Walker has volunteered as an ABCD mentor since 2018, providing one-to-one emotional support to other young people impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis.
“As an ABCD board member since 2019, Kathryn has brought her extensive technical expertise in customer relationship management systems to our organization, leading efforts to increase efficiency and accuracy within ABCD’s complex Salesforce platform,” Schupper said. “Kathryn spends on average 10-15 volunteer hours per week supporting our data management needs, which has enabled ABCD to keep up with a 60% increase in demand for services in the past three years. Kathryn is a true asset to ABCD.”
