While at UVA, she founded the Alpha Rho Chapter of Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas (SLU) Sorority Incorporated, served as a Resident Advisor, and helped form the LADYS mentorship program for teen girls in Charlottesville, Virginia. Since then, Isabel interned with the National Park Service in both Denver, Colorado and Washington, D.C. in the division of interpretation, education, and volunteers working with the national youth program—Every Kid in a Park—where she was focused on documenting national and regional program data and communications. She also served as the National Public Relations Director of SLU.

Isabel is currently a Program Manager at Collegiate Directions, Inc.
