Isabel joined WVXU in 2024 to cover the environment. Previously, she interned with KOSU Radio in Oklahoma, Interlochen Public Radio in Michigan, and the Athens County Independent and Matter News in Ohio. She received a SPJ Mark of Excellence award for her reporting on the disparate impacts of a power outage on Columbus residents.

Isabel graduated from Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in journalism.

The central pillar of ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ’s local network — accounting for the lion’s share of its 211,000 listeners each week — 91.7 WVXU is among the most reliable media institutions in the Tri-State region. Our mission is to always be a trusted, independent source of journalism, music and culture, empowering a vibrant, engaged and informed community.

Our team of reporters and editors have decades of experience writing and reporting the news. Our first responsibility is to our listeners and readers. There is no connection between our funding and editorial decisions. When we do cover a funding partner, a disclosure will be mentioned on-air and online. We take pride in our work, editing and fact-checking every story. If an article warrants a correction, we will immediately correct it and explain the correction for complete transparency.
