Nicole Webster was born Cody Nicole Barela in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is the daughter of Kathryn, a labor and delivery nurse, and Larry Barela, a commercial airlines pilot. She spent the majority of her childhood growing up in a small town in southern Virginia, and she later studied theatre arts at the University of Virginia, where she received her Bachelors of Arts degree in 2011. Nicole first expressed an interest in acting at the age of five, where she performed onstage with a traveling children's theatre for several years. At this time, Nicole also studied modeling and classical dance, and was professionally trained over the next ten years. She continued performing on stage throughout high school and college, where she appeared in a number of theatrical productions. In early 2018, Nicole began film acting professionally. After doing background work on notable productions such as 'Better Call Saul' and 'Roswell, New Mexico,' she won the lead role in several independent productions, most notably as Reyna Richie in 'Distill My Beating Heart' (2018) and Abigail Hannigan in 'Last Sunrise' (2019). Nicole appears as a series regular in the web series 'Ludum Tempus' (2019), and has several other projects in production. Nicole resides in Albuquerque when not filming in Los Angeles.
