Biography

Noel has had a love of music and theater since she was old enough to speak. With bright red and curly hair, it was only a matter of time before she was cast as "Annie" in Payson's second production of Annie. Noel's biggest fan, Mom, has always encouraged her talents and never told her that being a Broadway star, was out of her reach. Growing up in a family where everyone sings, and everywhere she went her family would demand performances. Noel focused on music, vocal performance, and learned to play several musical instruments in school. Noel LOVES kids, and it is her dream and purpose to share with everyone around her, what it means to not be afraid of the unfamiliar. Learning to step out of that comfort zone while you're young and not letting fear run the show, will support one in making their dreams a reality. It was once said that public speaking is typically a fear of most. Wrong! Try singing in front of a crowd! What an amazing and powerful experience, one of which, Noel wishes to share with the world. Noel truly sees Up With Kids! in her long time future.
