Teresa Noreen (born December 22, 1976) is an American model and actress.

Early life
Noreen grew up in a rural area of Washington state near the town of Colville. At the age of 18, driven by her interest in architecture, she left the Colville area to attend Washington State University for her Freshman year. She later relocated to Spokane to attend Spokane Falls Community College. During her Sophomore year, struggling to balance an increasingly demanding personal life with the rigors of academia, she set her education aside in 1997 to join the United States Air Force. Serving primarily at Dover AFB in Dover, Delaware through 2001, her military career ended with an honorable discharge.

Career
Noreen entered the public eye in 2005 when she entered "The Quest for Antonia", an online contest to find the international spokesmodel for Everquest II. Securing the number one spot and holding it to the end of the five-week contest, she was the fan favorite, with fans showing their support by building a website dedicated to her entry into the contest. The spokesmodeling contract was ultimately awarded to another competitor in a live pageant.

Taking the lessons learned from the contest, Noreen continued to build an online presence to promote her modeling career. She had her website professionally refreshed, and began networking via numerous modeling websites as well as MySpace. Within a year she was featured in eight calendars, appeared in numerous magazines, shot her feature for Bennett Production's Playing in Paradise, hosted Atlanta's Stone Cold TV, starred in a short film shot for the 2006 Howard Stern Film Festival and toured the Eastern U.S. with NOPI motorsports. Her first magazine feature was published in January 2006 - a non-nude appearance in Penthouse. Her first magazine cover came shortly thereafter on Street Trenz Magazine's March 2006 issue and her first exclusive magazine pictorial was published in the January 2007 issue of American Curves. She is advancing with ongoing work with Hawaiian Tropic and Pirelli and is the official spokesmodel of PowerBass Audio.

On November 4, 2007, Noreen launched a blogsite to move her blogging presence from MySpace to a less restrictive location. Sections of her site are tailored to offering advice to aspiring models and actresses, at no charge.

Future plans

 * She and her business partner Lawrence Ayers are working with graphic artist Gershom Wetzel to create a series of stories and graphic novels based on her persona.
 * She is working on transitioning her primary career from modeling/acting to producing.

Personal life
Noreen resides near Sherman Oaks, California. Because so much of her persona is established online and because she has a penchant for technology-laden gadgets as well as notifying her MySpace friends of the latest invasive codes to avoid, she was nominated as Sexiest Geek of 2006.
