Noël joined the Action News team as a reporter in January 2012.
Before moving to sunny Jacksonville, Noël spent most of her life in the snowy north. Originally from Blauvelt, New York, she grew up soaking up the art and culture of the Big Apple, where she developed her passion for people and storytelling.
Noël is a proud graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, where she earned the prestigious William's Prize for Excellence in Journalism and nabbed internships at Dateline NBC, and WCBS- New York. Soon after, she sought adventure in the snowiest city in the contiguous United States- Marquette, Michigan, where she spent two years at the local NBC affiliate as a reporter and anchor. There, she received a Michigan Association of Broadcaster's award for her breaking news coverage of the drowning of the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture.
In her spare time, you'll find Noël dabbling in music, catching a movie or theater production, painting, and spending time on the water. She also loves animals and looks forward to meeting new furry friends at the beach.
