I was trained by former runway model and 4th runner up to Miss Teen USA 2004, Kim Harlan prior to beginning pageants about 2 years ago. During my time competing, I won one title, numerous runner-up positions and five photogenic awards. I've been featured in advertisements for three photography companies and one local boutique. Over the summer of 2011, I was a national finalist in a competition sponsored by Barbizon Modeling Schools for a Seventeen Magazine cover girl and this fall I had my first runway job appearing in the h.Naoto fashion show.

Prior to modeling though, I was a devoted performer. I took 12 years of dance training in varying amounts of ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern and pointe. I was on the middle school dance team of my dance academy for two years and earned a place for one year on the academy's high school jazz team as well as two years on my high school's hip hop team. After leaving dance, I went back to my acting roots by joining the International Thespian Society at my high school where I usually work tech but appeared in my first show with them this past winter. Prior to joining ITS though, I spent two summers in intensive acting camp at the Holly Theater in Dahlonega, GA and took lessons at the Academy of Cinema and Television in their Film acting and Sitcom and Soap acting classes. I recently landed my first movie role as Morgan Fairly in the upcoming student film "Death Forest."

Lastly, while my profile says Noelle, I actually go by Elle. When I signed up though, the name "Elle Summers" was already taken, so I used my full middle name instead of the shortened version. However, I prefer to go by Elle.
