More about Isabella
First Strokes
Isabella’s parents, who met through canoe slalom, brought her into the sport. She would often paddle with them on the backs of their boats until she was big enough for her own kayak at age 4.
Off the Water
When Isabella is not paddling, she likes to read, crochet, or paint. She also loves to mountain bike and ski, which also double as cross training.
