Isabel describes her time in Jordan and encourages students to think about what they can contribute, not only take away, from a travel experience.

Isabel is a recent graduate of the George Washington University with a Bachelor's of Science in Economics and a minor in Arabic Language. While at GWU, she was president of the university debate team and competed internationally. She spent five months living in Amman, Jordan in 2015, where she worked at a venture capital company focused on small IT start-ups in the Levant and Gulf regions. Her work is driven by a thirst for intersectional reconciliation of segmented academic fields and a passion for putting intellectualism to work for the betterment of people.
