Berwick Academy

Author, illustrator, and designer Maggie Edkins Willis ’09 has burst onto the publishing scene with a series of books for children and young adults.

A Dover native, Noonan came to Berwick as a ninth grader, where he played hockey and lacrosse, favored STEM courses, and loved to draw. He credits a conversation with Director of College Counseling Moira McKinnon ’88 with encouraging him to apply to Georgetown, a school he had not previously considered. Noonan ended up loving life in D.C. and studying finance and marketing at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business, with an eye toward an investment banking career. But the economic recession at the time made Noonan reconsider, so he responded to the Sweetflow (is it Sweetflow or Sweet Flow?) Mobile posting (from fellow Georgetown alums and sweetgreen founders Jonathan Neman, Nicolas Jammet, and Nathaniel Ru) and was excited right away.
