Noelle Walker ’23 played as a key member of the back line for The University of Scranton women’s soccer team, regarded as having one of the best defenses in the country. Her new defensive role allows her to support patients in their battle against cancer.
Shortly after graduating from Scranton with a Bachelor of Science in nursing, Noelle Walker '23 joined the team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Walker’s passion for nursing and oncology is readily evident in her desire to do whatever she can to support her patients. Over the years, she has made a similar impact on friends, coaches and teammates.
What her former teammate and coach are saying...
“As a friend, Noelle always treats others with kindness, compassion and good humor. As a teammate, Noelle always demonstrated hard work and dedication, exemplifying what it means to be a student-athlete and handling herself with grace. These qualities will be valuable as a nurse at Sloan Kettering, where her coworkers and patients will quickly learn how lucky they are to have her.
“I know Noelle will excel as a nurse and I am so excited to see what she will accomplish in her career!”
–Mary Haggerty ’24, former University of Scranton teammate of Noelle Walker
