My name is Noelle and I currently completing my Master's Degree in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas in Austin. The focus of my graduate studies is Islamic Religion, Islamic History and the Arabic Language. I have returned to Austin, Texas after training with the Army Reserves where I had the opportunity to continue my studies of Arabic and Arab culture. Before I went back to school, I lived in Florence, Italy teaching English to Italians and other Europeans. I also taught Ballroom and Latin dancing while I trained to compete professionally in Latin dancing.
I have always have many interests, but through it all, I have always kept my interest in writing. I write mostly poetry, but I discovered during my graduate studies that I really like writing essays and research papers, too. I am always looking for new opportunities to write so that I can find new ways to express myself through my writing.
