She began her career as a corporate lawyer in New York City and pivoted to the non-profit world when a close friend was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Hayley is a proven thought leader in the breast cancer space with the ability to cast vision, strategically plan, manage and fund innovative social impact solutions. Her tireless commitment, unparalleled resourcefulness and valuable relationships have resulted in millions of dollars raised to fund Triple Negative-specific research initiatives, as well as an extensive array of resources and support services for those battling TNBC. Melissa Berry is the current Board Chair of the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation. She’s a 10-year Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivor and the founder of Cancer Fashionista. During her breast cancer journey, she scoured the internet for beauty tips and tricks to help manage the appearance-related side effects of her treatment and surgeries. Melissa began to keep track of the best advice and items that she found, then created the CancerFashionista.com blog to share her recommendations with others. She has since become a trusted voice in the breast cancer community, launched her own podcast, “Dear Cancer, I’m Beautiful,” and has been tapped by several national media outlets, to share both product recommendations and self-care tips for cancer patients. Melissa has been recognized for her outstanding support of women affected by breast cancer by many organizations. In 2016, she received the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation’s Courage Award, and in 2018 she was honored with the YWCA Bergen County’s Beacon of Light Award. --- This is the Believe in Progress podcast hosted by the AACR Foundation and featuring Hayley Dinerman and Melissa Berry.
