Noel graduated from Bowling Green State University with a degree in German Language and a minor in Three-Dimensional Art. After graduating college, she went on to work in a variety of fields, such as working for a sculptural lighting artist, as a glassblowing demonstrator, and as an elementary school English teacher in South Korea. There, she discovered her passion for working with young people and bringing creativity into the classroom. She is looking forward to fostering an environment of curiosity and exploration, and creating a learning environment she would have loved to have had as a young student. In her free time, she has rediscovered the joy of reading, works often on embroidery or stained glass projects, and tries cooking new recipes.
