What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

She loves golf for its individuality—every swing is her own challenge—and the friendships she’s made along the way. At the same time, she thrives on volleyball’s team spirit, where every point depends on trust, teamwork, and lifting each other up. The balance of personal focus in golf and the shared drive in volleyball fuels her passion for both sports and shapes her as both an athlete and a teammate.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

She’s inspired by Nelly Korda for breaking barriers in golf, and by Penn State coach Katie Schumacher‑Cawley, who overcame breast cancer and led her team to a national title. Jess Mruzik and Izzy Starck motivates her with relentless commitment to volleyball, while Katie Feeney shows her how women can lead in the business side of sports—something she hopes to pursue. Each role model fuels her drive to excel and open doors for others.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Isabelle is proudest of how she persevered and found new passions after a setback. A competitive dancer who even earned a hip-hop scholarship to Las Vegas, she faced a crushing blow when a foot fracture forced her to take a year off. Dance had been her outlet, and losing it was tough, but she used that year to pivot, discovering golf and volleyball—sports that reshaped her identity and fueled her dreams.
