Isabella, or Izzy, recently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a major in Public Health and a minor in Global Poverty and Practice. Over the past few years, she has worked with The Suitcase Clinic, a student run free clinic for the unhoused and underserved Berkeley population, as the secretary of the internal committee and service coordinator for the women’s clinic. Izzy has also worked on several economic development projects for a ministry on the Yakama Indian Reservation, specifically with a financially literacy program for a newly created screen printing business. Through this experience and her continued relationship with this organization, Izzy has discovered her passion for health justice among American Indian Reservation communities, specifically with addressing childhood trauma. This fall, Izzy will begin a one-year program at UCSF to obtain her Masters in Global Health Science, where she will continue to cultivate her knowledge and pursuit of health equity on reservations. Her hobbies include painting and playing in the sun, and her favorite place to be is in the ocean!
