Career
Nolan got her start in voice acting when she was only 10 years old, when her father answered a newspaper ad posted by Gotaku founder Mayuka George asking for voice talent for anime dubs. Although Nolan was reluctant to try, her father telephoned to apply. Due to her voice, George immediately asked him about her age and, after verifying that Nolan was a child, he asked him to bring Nolan to Boston City Sound Studios immediately.

Nolan was one of the youngest members of the Boston City Sound Studios talent pool, and often recorded voice work on weekends and days off from school. In her high school years, Nolan experienced a form of identity crisis. Years later, she told an interviewer:
 * I think it was probably in high school that I realized that there was a difference between Korean and Korean-American, especially a Korean adopted by Americans like myself. Working with other Asian-Americans for Gotaku made me realize it wasn't the same thing, especially since I remember I once had to go with other voice actors and Gotaku staffers on a business trip to, and how familiar it seemed, just getting out of the plane, it smelled like my dad's rumpus room, in the airport, it smelled like a Korean restaurant. Then I realized the things we were doing differently, like, for example, consuming different food & drink brands than Americans. I tasted a can of this stuff and was like "What the hell is this? Milk and soda do not work well together." Eventually, I realized more and more that had a connection to my roots in Korea because I was naturally getting along well with other Korean-Americans and Koreans in general, and I knew I hadn't realized before how much of my roots I had.
