ABOUT ME!
Hi and welcome to my website! :) My name is Isabella and I'm a recent graduate of the University of Maryland: College Park where I received degrees in Theatre and Criminology/Criminal Justice. I am a passionate storyteller; whether that means performing on stage or on camera I believe that I can use my work to bring characters to life and champion diverse and intersectional stories.
​
I am known for playing both comedic and dramatic roles, and range between the girl in the coming of age film, to the young heroine in a period or action piece. I believe that there can always be more stories about young women, and I take inspiration from artists like Issa Rae, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Zendaya in my work, and I use their stories to define my own path as a creator and artist in this continuously changing world.
​
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for collaboration or career connection! I am currently in the process of searching for representation.
