Isabel is an undergraduate freshman at the University of Texas at Austin with a major in Sociology and a minor in Social and Behavioral Science. As a sociology major, she loves examining all the different lenses through which society and popular culture can be observed, and her ultimate goal for her writing is to provide more nuance and context than she feels is currently being offered in the media. Despite being chronically offline, she’s always doing her best to stay on top of current topics and headlines in the political world and in mainstream culture.
Isabel co-founded the first newsletter club at her high school, which reached an audience of over 2000+ school officials, and hopes to continue her passion for writing throughout her college career. Her love for one-on-one connection helped her run the Student Perspective portion of the newsletter, providing unique insight into the thoughts of the entire student body. Additionally, she loves reaching out and helping her community, and volunteered over 100 hours to her local Veterans Affairs department, an opportunity that’s inspired her commitment to amplifying the voices of minority communities everywhere.
Her favorite pastime is stalking people's LinkedIn profiles and finding new places to explore with her friends, whether it's a hidden Mexican restaurant or random antique stores; she's open to anything that'll get her out of her dorm room.
