Isabel graduated from Harvard in 2012 with a degree in English. After spending a year and a half writing in New York, she moved back to Los Angeles to work in drama development and programming at Fox Broadcasting Company. During her time at Fox, she worked on shows such as EMPIRE, SCREAM QUEENS, GOTHAM, and SLEEPY HOLLOW, in addition to projects in development.

For better and for worse, she can remember all the words to every song she ever sang at YADA.
