Lucy Noell was born and raised in Winston-Salem, NC and always hoped to move back. Lucy Noell attended the University of Georgia and graduated with a degree in Advertising from Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. Lucy Noell has had a decade-long successful career in fundraising. 

Lucy Noell started taking classes at Hilliard in the spring of 2018 and was immediately hooked.  “I hope to bring Hilliard to Winston as a lifeline for myself, and also a public service to others. Every city should have one and what better place to start the Hilliard expansion than right down the road in the Triad with so many Hilliard loyalists. I approached Liz and Lee to see if they would be open to it, and they loved the idea and were ready to expand. The rest was history!”
