Columbia Office

Isabelle is our Equip Coordinator. She is based in our Columbia Office and she works with young adults and teenagers across the state to teach professional and social skills for independent living. Isabelle enjoys working with youth, community partners, and schools to promote self-advocacy, independence, and activism. As our Equip Coordinator, she works closely with the Equip Specialists and Equip Leaders to provide youth with safe spaces to express themselves and their disability and gain the skills they need for their future.

She is originally from the Appalachian region of Virginia but fell in love with South Carolina and South Carolinians during college and began her mission to serve our beautiful state and its people. Isabelle has a psychiatric disability and is a member of the hard-of-hearing community. She is proud of the skills she has learned, how she has developed, and the disability pride she has gained since her adolescence. She relates personally to being a teen and young adult with a disability, and she works to empower youth by drawing from her personal experience.

Isabelle graduated with her Bachelor of Social Work from the University of South Carolina and her Master of Social Work with a specialization in Non-Profit Management and Policy Practice from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She comes to Able SC with previous experience as a Project Manager from a global research institution, a healthcare research project coordinator, and a policy, administration, and marketing intern with Project Search SC. While not at work, Isabelle spends her time with her partner cooking, playing video games, and exploring every community festival she can find. She's close with her family and loves getting food with her friends and volunteering in her local community.
