Isabella’s favorite thing about working with children is believing children are the light of the world. Being able to help them grow, build new skills, and reach milestones is rewarding to be apart of. It reminds her that with patience and encouragement, anything is possible.

A lover of children’s literature, Isabella’s favorite book is Ivy + Bean, a series that celebrates friendship, imagination, and adventure. Ms. Isabella’s favorite holiday is Christmas, and one of her favorite family traditions is gathering together each week for Sunday dinner.

At home, Ms. Isabella shares life with two mini dachshunds named Shayla and Winston, who always keep things lively. In her personal time, she enjoys relaxing and having fun by playing video games.
