You wanted to learn more? How sweet! By now you probably know the professional scoop--she's an actress, she's a writer...but what else is there to be known? Who is Noelle Gizzi?

Noelle grew up in Randolph, New Jersey, where she first got a taste of performing in the Fernbrook Elementary School talent show (a performance of which IS on YouTube, by the way). Noelle also developed her love of literature during elementary school, during which she devoured the Harry Potter series along with many other books. Noelle likes to joke that she "got smart on accident" after her third grade teacher neglected to put her in a reading group and then let her join the coveted "green group." Noelle had big shoes to fill from then on, being in the green group. That was the smart kid group!

Noelle's childhood was largely unhappy due to factors both internal and external. Her home life was unfortunate, and she was diagnosed with depression at an extremely young age (the pictures she drew of coffins cued in the kindergarten teachers). Part of the reason Noelle was so drawn to theatre was because she was so massively unhappy. For a little while, she was able to be somebody else. For a moment, she didn't have to be Noelle Gizzi. Along the way she fell in love with the art, and one of her main goals as a performer is to bring joy to people who need it. If she can make one sad person chuckle, then that will be enough.

Despite her father's warnings that acting should only be a hobby, Noelle went on to study acting in college and earn her BA in Theatre Arts from Ramapo College of New Jersey. She had stopped seeing her father by age fourteen, so he didn't have much say over her major anyway. Look out world--she's not taking no for an answer!

​

Noelle is also a big lover of dairy products, cats, cool pens, the color yellow, Harry Styles, and crafting. She thanks you for reading this far, and wishes you health and good cheer!
