As a homeschooler, Noel experienced first-hand the power of a holistic, child-centered approach to education. This experience led to a life-long love of learning, and she knew from an early age that she wanted to be an educator. She studied Elementary Education, with a focus in English for Speakers of Other Languages, at the University of North Florida.

Remembering the benefits of her homeschool education, Noel chose to teach in alternative schools rather than traditional public schools. This journey led her to work in a globally-focused charter school and then in a Waldorf school. Acton Academy is the learner-driven environment she has been searching for throughout her career, and she is thrilled to join the Acton Academy Bucharest team as the Discovery Guide.
