rynn Walker could break someone’s ankles playing one-on-one soccer, then treat them as her patient in the hospital afterward. Each of us can decide for ourselves if that’s impressive or terrifying. “Being a student-athlete has been pretty stressful at times,” Walker said. “But everyone knows that Bwe are dedicated to our studies, and professors are really good about working with athletes.” Walker, a Helena native, is a graduating senior in the Carroll Department of Nursing. Aside from being a stu- dent-athlete with a 3.8 GPA, Walker radiates an infectious enthusiasm for life. “Brynn just has a very good energy about her,” said Amaya Winkler, a friend and teammate of Walker’s. “She’s always encouraging the people around her to do their best.” Winkler, a sophomore from Billings, is double majoring in biology and biochemistry plus molecular biology. From classes to clinicals to her soccer career, Walker inspires those around her through an unmatched work ethic and genuine appreciation of life. “I really like how much clinical experi- ence we get at Carroll,” Walker said. Clini- Her laugh cals allow nursing students to get firsthand experience in nearby medical facilities. is very Walker plans to take the National Coun- cil Licensure Examination for Registered contagious Nurses after graduating. Passing the NCLEX-RN will certify her as a licensed - and nurse. Maria Brosnan, an associate professor of loud! nursing, praised Walker’s work ethic. “Brynn is highly intelligent and a hard worker,” Brosnan said. “Her spirit of in- quiry keeps her wanting to know more.” Brosnan stated that Brynn’s nursing career will “absolutely” be successful. “She’s a great team player,” Brosnan said. “She works well with other peers and faculty to achieve a common goal. That’s important in a field like nursing, when you work with so many varied personal- ities.” Walker has also found great success on the soccer field while at Carroll. A starting forward for the Fighting Saints, Walker has earned more than 2,000 minutes of playing time in her four years, and scored a handful of memorable goals. “I’ve seen tremendous growth from Brynn,” said Meghan O’Connell, assistant soccer coach for the Saints. “She has matured a lot as a player and a person over the last four years.” O’Connell has known Walker since she was 16. She coached Walker’s club soccer team here in Helena for two years prior to becoming her collegiate coach. “Brynn’s athletic career will give her the confidence to be a successful nurse,” O’Connell said. “Having been goal-driven in sports will help her.” So, she’s got a polished transcript and impressive soccer stats. But what truly drives her success in life cannot be clipped out to hang on the family refrigerator. Walker is contagiously passionate about doing what she loves - and it comes from within. “Brynn’s greatest strength is that she doesn’t have any quit in her,” O’Connell said. “She realizes that it’s not about the immediate results - it’s about the journey.” Brosnan described Walker as being “incredibly profes- sional” as well as “an authentic and genuine human being.” Walker balances a sophisticated work life with a free-spir- it. “You can always tell where Brynn is by her laugh,” said Amaya Winkler. “It’s very contagious - and loud!” she ex- plained with a chuckle. “Although outwardly she might appear to be goofy, she has a very serious side, and a lot of people miss that,” O’Connell said. To her coaches, she is strong. To her professors, she is driven. To her friends and loved ones, Walker is a fun, lov- ing, supportive ray of sunshine. Frequent intake of strawberry flavored Red Bulls might account for some of Walker’s energy, but for the most part, her passion comes from the heart. She has some suitable advice for the next ladies who have both scrubs and cleats in their closet. “You should find what gives you passion, and work for that,” Walker said. “My advice to others would be to enjoy the college experience while still getting your work done. It’s important to be a good student.”
