Noelle Lambert, born in Londonderry, NH, attended Londonderry High School and UMass Lowell, where she excelled as a D1 lacrosse athlete.

Lambert also took up snowboarding, aiming to compete in the 2026 Winter Paralympics.
In 2018, she founded The Born to Run Foundation, supporting amputees with prosthetics. Lambert gained further recognition on Season 43 of Survivor, finishing in the top eight. Her accolades include the Myra Kraft Community MVP Award, Wilma Rudolph Student Athlete Achievement Award, and being honored by the Boston Celtics as a “Hero Among Us.” In 2020, she was the national honoree for the L’Oreal Women of Worth Award. Lambert lives in Manchester, NH, with her fiancée Mark and their goldendoodle Ollie.
