Isabella began rowing in 2015 as a junior at the Minneapolis Rowing Club. She quickly progressed as a sculler, becoming a competitive single rower in high school along with rowing in the top junior eight. In the fall of 2016, Isabella started college at the University of St. Thomas. She was one of the few freshman varsity female members in the history of the University of St. Thomas. Her leadership was evident from the beginning, serving on the board as Commodore months after starting on the team. Throughout her tenure at the University of St. Thomas, Isabella had numerous successful regatta performances in a variety of boat classes from the single to the eight. She was named President of the Club her senior year. Her success as a rower has continued as an open athlete, winning multiple races in 2023.

Isabella began coaching Long Lake Rowing Club in 2017. While there, she coached middle school camps, private lessons, masters and had several successful seasons as the Junior Team Assistant Coach. She has also coached the adult program at the Minneapolis Rowing Club. Isabella previously coached at Minnesota Boat Club for two years, including serving under our legendary Coach Miriam Baer as the Junior Assistant Coach. Isabella returns to Minnesota Boat Club with a wealth of experience coaching sculling and sweeping in all ages and she is a USRowing Level 2 Coach. She is excited to be back at St. Paul and join in the pursuit of the Lipton Trophy (The NWIRA Club Championship Trophy). Outside of rowing, Isabella has a Masters in Education, is a high school biology teacher and enjoys rock climbing, playing in the orchestra, and traveling.
