Tahelah Noel ’21

My time with VUWSO helped shape me into the woman I am today.  It instilled in me invaluable qualities like mental toughness, determination, teamwork, and passion—lessons that extend far beyond the soccer field.  The friendships I built there are lifelong, and Valpo will always hold a special place in my heart.

After graduating, I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis.  I now work as an oncology social worker at Wilmot Cancer center in Rochester, NY, where I support patients and families through some of life’s most challenging moments.
