Isobelle is a Pennsylvania native who recently relocated to the Raleigh area. She received her Bachelor’s of Science in Health and Occupation and Master’s of Science in Occupational Therapy from Elizabethtown College. While in college, she conducted two research studies: one in which she independently studied adaptive dance opportunities for children with disabilities, another conducted with colleagues focused on interoception, nutrition, and toileting in children with autism. She and her colleagues presented the latter at the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association conference.

In her free time, she enjoys reading, fitness, cooking (and trying her hand at baking), and spending time with family and friends.
