Isabella “Bella” Parthenakis is a first-year student in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia, where she plans to major in neuroscience. She is a writer for HCUVA and is excited to explore topics that she genuinely enjoys, especially music, social issues, and lifestyle. Bella loves being able to write about things that interest her while connecting with other students and sharing different perspectives.
Outside of writing, Bella is a member of Nu Rho Psi, the neuroscience honor society, and is a Certified Medical Assistant. She will also be volunteering with Madison House this year, something she is looking forward to as she gets more involved in the UVA community. Her interests in neuroscience and healthcare have given her a passion for learning about people and the world around her.
When she’s not studying or writing, Bella loves spending time with her friends and listening to music. She is always happy to discover a new song or artist and enjoys having music as a part of her everyday life. As she begins her first year at UVA, Bella is excited to meet new people, try new things, and find her place in the community.
