She’s never scored a point or dealt out an assist, at least in the basketball sense. She doesn’t wear a number to someday retire to the TD Garden rafters. But anyone who has come into her professional orbit will tell you that Heather Walker has long been one of the Celtics’ brightest stars.

During her 15 years with the Celtics, her assorted duties include, but are hardly limited to, publicizing brand partnerships, making sure players’ families are taken care of during games, and organizing community relations events.
