By Nick Lee | December 9, 2022

Amanda Cole Star Trek Enterprise - Noa Tishby

Noa Tishby is an actress, activist, keynote speaker, and author. To say she’s extremely talented is an understatement.

This woman has acted on a variety of TV shows in both America and Israel, some of which we may be familiar with. If you’re a Star Trek: Enterprise fan, then you’ve already seen Tishby in action.

Even though her last acting role was in 2015 on Dig, she’s still pursuing activism in other ways. Her life is very successful, and she is seriously an inspiration to us all.

Her grandfather was involved in establishing one of the first kibbutz’s in the country. By the age of eight, she’d already proven her skills and appeared in a variety of commercials. Her fame only gained traction from there. 

Naturally talented, she earned a drama scholarship from the Tel Aviv Museum of Art when she was in her teens. Additionally, she was in the Israel Defense Forces for more than two years.
