Noel started her fannish career as a freshman at Texas A&M University in 1977 when she joined their SF club, Cepheid Variable. Noel held various offices at the club but pretty much gravitated toward AggieCon and other cons; it was while working on Texas conventions that Noel first met many of the California fans, including Craig Miller and Bruce Pelz. She moved to L.A. in 1986.
Since then, she's worked on numerous ConComs for LosCon, Westercon, Nasfic and Worldcon and is on the board of Directors for SCIFI. Amidst, fires, floods, and earthquakes, she chaired the 1994 Worldcon.
Noel is currently a Production Supervisor at Dreamworks Feature Animation and working on their film "Sinbad". Her previous film credits include "Prince of Egypt" and "The Road to Eldorado", both for Dreamworks. She has produced two live action short films. The first "The Lion's Den" won a Cine Golden Eagle in 1998 and her second "Traveling Companion" was sold to The Sundance Channel.
Noel first met her husband Marv Wolfman at the 1989 LASFS Showcase. This was the old incarnation of what is now LaLaLa Con. That year it was chaired by Genny Dazzo. Craig Miller was in charge of programming and arranged for Marv to speak at the event. Marv arrived with his brand new puppy ... a lovely Keeshond named Tala. At the time, Noel was more interested in the puppy then Marv. But this soon changed and Noel and Marv were married in 1991. They blame Craig and Genny to this day.
