Isa enjoys creative writing, dancing, choreographing, making jewelry, and trying to find good food spots in every city she goes to. For Isa, storytelling goes beyond just journalism. As a dance choreographer and dancer, Isa explores how movement, lighting, costume, and audio create an emotional visual experience for her audience. When she makes jewelry, she considers how design conveys a wearer's personality. She applies these same detail-oriented and humanistic skills to her journalism.
