Noemi Bueno has always been drawn to the performing arts, and dance has always taken center stage in her life. At the young age of 9, her Mexican-American heritage, coupled alongside her passion for dance, prompted Noemi to join a traditional Amerindian dance club. Her enthusiasm for dance only grew, and she later ventured into Folklorico Ballet and eventually gymnastics. As a freshman at Bell Gardens High School, she earned a position in the advanced dance team, where she later assumed the title of Public Relations officer. Even after relocating to Buckeye Union High School, she became vice-president of the dance team and coordinated two annual performances. Currently, Noemi attends school at Cerritos College with intentions to transfer to a four-year university to study Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations. Noemi enjoys watching films from the golden age of Mexican Cinema and listens to an array of musical genres.
