Versatile marketer and designer with startup experience

Isabelle's involvement in the startup space began early in high school, where she placed top 6 in a global pitch competition with over 500,000 competitors from 5 different continents. As a high school student, she also interned at a YC startup with Forbes 30 Under 30 founders and completed an incubation program at the world #1 ranked university-based tech incubator. Now, Isabelle is interning in strategy, growth, and marketing capacities with startups. She is also working at venture capital firms investing in diverse founders. Outside of work, Isabelle’s a huge Formula 1 fan and she plays many sports (badminton, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee)!
