Isabel Nardi

Isabel is passionate about people. She is curious about other people’s stories, especially those that differ from her own. Throughout high school she was involved in sports, jump started a student run group in support of diversity, and was selected as a peer mentor. One of her personal missions is to work towards breaking down stereotypes so that each individual will be granted the opportunity to display their true selves. Throughout this year, Isabel hopes to figure out how to utilize her own strengths to the best of her ability. She is really looking forward to making this her year.
