During her high school years she also excelled at violin, was a 4-year member of the PHS dance team and studied ASL! Isabella started her dance journey at age 2! She joined Toledo Ballet in the fall of 2020 along with her two younger sisters.

Isabellaโ€™s favorite memory of Toledo ballet is two fold! her favorite class memory is Lauraโ€™s! She says itโ€™s a way to decompress after school. Isabellaโ€™s favorite Nutcracker memory is snow scene! When the snow gets dropped a little heavy , itโ€™s white out and ends up everywhere including following you home.

Next on Isabellaโ€™s journey is the University of Findlay which she will attend with a Deans Scholarship to study Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary Medicine. This step will lead her towards her final goal of becoming a Dr of Veterinary Medicine. Isabella hopes to keep dance in her life by teaching an occasional class while getting her education.

Best wishes, Isabella!
