Meet Noelle A. Taddei, CPA, MST – CTCPA Women's Awards Distinguished Service Award Winner

Noelle A. Taddei, CPA, MST

Educator, Accounting Coach, and Career Advocate

Noelle's professional life today evolved from a varied journey as a CPA in public accounting, Fortune 100 corporate, and education. She now combines her passion with her experiences and shares them as a college professor, career advocate, and accounting coach for the Travelers EDGE (Empowering Dreams for Graduation and Employment) program.

What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?  

Like many others, it was the “who” – my dad Edward, also a CPA and enthusiast for the profession.  

What professional accomplishment are you most proud of? 

I am most excited (and proud) any and every time a student, for whom I have been fortunate to advocate, accomplishes their internship and career goals.  

What is your next major goal?  

I would like to consult with academic organizations and employers on how to implement an individualized approach to identification of accounting talent, with the focus on advocating for candidates through successful placement in the accounting profession.  

What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?  

I love to explore the U.S. by road travel, touring American manufacturing facilities, while coordinating visits with family and friends.
