Cara Pellegrini is WIN Against Breast Cancer’s (WIN ABC) Director of Program Assessment and Strategic Planning. She is responsible for evaluating the programs and services that WIN ABC currently has in place and helping to implement the most effective direction for the organization’s growth and success. Cara comes to WIN ABC with ten years of hands-on experience in the pharmaceutical industry and a background in business development and new product planning. She has also worked as a mental health counselor specializing in substance abuse recovery and women’s issues, and holds a master’s degree in clinical psychology. Her areas of expertise include strategic planning, corporate intelligence, writing, budget management and program development. She has also volunteered in various nonprofit organizations, working with battered women, homeless youth, adolescent AIDS patients, child abuse prevention and high school science students. Cara’s father was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 54 during a time when less than 1% of men were thought to present with breast cancer. He was treated with a mastectomy and has been cancer free for 20 years. This experience, as well as other personal experiences with cancer, has served to cement Cara’s strong committed to supporting cancer patients and their families. Cara was raised in Santa Clara, California and has lived in many parts of California and Southern Europe. She now resides in San Diego, California with her partner of nine years, their two daughters, two cats and twenty koi fish. She enjoys reading, bicycling, hiking, organic gardening and any activity that includes her family.
