Bio

Hi! My name is Isabella and I am an undergraduate senior in Washington, D.C. majoring in Justice and Law. I am currently funding my final semester of undergraduate on my own, and am beginning to collect funds for graduate school. After undergraduate school, I am pursuing my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Child and Family Welfare. I am particularly interested in the impacts of maladaptive parenting, maternal and child welfare, breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma, and ways in which institutions can support families and individuals doing their best to heal from family violence. Overall, I am fueled by a strong belief that everyone deserves healthy love and a safe place to land.
