Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi all! My name is Isabelle, and I'm a sophomore from Honolulu, Hawaii studying Ethnicity, Race, & Migration. On campus, I write for a political publication and perform poetry with Yale's Asian/Asian American spoken word group. I'm also a Human Rights Scholar at the Law School. I first taught at Splash/Sprout in Fall 2019, and I'm always excited to share a topic I love - writing and performing poetry and prose!
