Personal Life
Wells was born in San Anotnio, Texas. She attended Memorial High School in Victoria, Texas, where she was active in speech and debate and graduated as salutatorian. She graduated from University of Texas at Austin in 2010 with degrees in Plan II Honors and Radio-Television-Film. While attending college, she was a cast member of Esther's Follies, Austin's long running musical satire show where she performed in sketches and as a magician's assistant.
She worked as an editor and did motion graphic for a brief time before becoming an actress. Her parents apparently named her Noël due to being born two days before Christmas.
