senior accounts specialist, ocean wise
Toronto, canada
Isabella knew she wanted to be involved in the dynamic and challenging world of conservation when she took a world issues course in high school and the experience ignited her passion in understanding humans and their impacts upon the environment. This led her to complete her undergraduate degree at York University in Environmental Studies and continue her education by getting a Masters of Arts in Geography from the University of Guelph.
Her thesis research focused on the sustainable seafood movement in North America and exploring the tensions therein. This research took her to the Boston Seafood Show where she saw sustainability within the seafood industry first-hand and made her want to help contribute to this transition to a better seafood industry.
Isabella got into contact with Ocean Wise shortly after her thesis and became an active volunteer. She believes that environmental education is a great way to encourage people to make positive seafood choices and is very proud to be part of this mission and continue to steer consumption in the right direction.
