Isabella, originally from Keizer, Oregon, recently graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato with her BFA in Acting. Isabella was invited to the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival 2022 as an Irene Ryan Nominee where she finished as a Semi-Finalist for her work as Aerope in Atreus at MSU, Mankato. After graduating she started her career as Corrie Bratter in Barefoot in the Park with Highland Summer Theatre.  Isabella has gained experience in tour life since being in Mankato. She had the privilege of being apart of two tours across the U.S. with the National Theatre for Children.  Continuing her work with children she was able to explore the world of theme parks.  Traveling to Kings Dominion, Valleyfair, and currently Hershey Park.  She has thoroughly enjoyed being able to impact the life's of little ones with the opportunities she has been given. Earlier this year Isabella was able to get back to what she loves most, the stage. She was able to strengthen her Shakespearean skills portraying Hermia in A Midsummer Nights Dream with Rosetown Playhouse.  She looks forward to the next time she gets to return to the stage. 

 

Currently, Isabella spends her summer days hanging out with her friend, Reese, at Hershey Park. Her days are filled with the sweetness of smiles and chocolate.  She looks forward to her newest adventure in the fall in Belgium and France where she will be touring to local French schools teaching English through theatre. This will be her debut tour with Pickles Company by Emerald Isle Theatre  Company. 

 

Outside her acting escapades Isabella enjoys cooking, baking, traveling, hiking, and reading a good book. This past March she traveled outside of the country for the first time to Rome, Italy where she got to explore the cuisine, culture, sights, and beauty. She hopes to travel outside of the country again very soon. When she is unable to travel and has spare time she enjoys baking bread, cakes, and cookies. She enjoys doing so even more during the long Minnesota winter’s when the smells can fill the house as she watches the snow fall. When the weather eventually gets nice enough she gets outside to hike the great outdoors either in Minnesota or back in her home state of Oregon where she still visits family.
