About Isabel
​
I'm based in Toronto, Ontario. While I'm in the early stages of my career, I decided to pursue engineering due to my love of physics and maths. This, combined with an interest in connecting people and organizations, led to starting my career in manufacturing.
​
Outside of work, my hobbies include running (with one half marathon complete!), pilates and reading
