Early life

Wool was born and raised in Urbana, Illinois. Wool knew that she wanted to be a performer at a young age. She starred in numerous theatrical productions throughout her elementary and high school career, before her talent landed her a musical theater scholarship to Wagner College. While there, she transitioned from theater to short films, starring in the Columbia University graduate short, Dandelion Fall. Her desire to pursue acting after college took her to New York City, where she spent ten years performing in theater, reciting Shakespeare, sketch comedy, and avant-garde movement dance before relocating to Los Angeles. Since making the move, she has continued to nurture her craft by taking a weekly class at the Imagined Life Theater.[12]

Wool's late father was a "wild, Irish guitar-playing scientist" and her mother, whom she greatly admires,[13] is a "California, artist beach-babe" who studied in Ireland where they met.[12] They were both college professors.[14]
