Get to Know Isa

1. Describe yourself in nine words.

Resilient, intuitive, optimistic, perceptive, grounded, curious, supportive, balanced and caffeinated.

‍

2. What are you proudest of accomplishing in the past quarter? 

This past quarter, I’m proud of how much I’ve learned across the industries and clients I support. Working in highly regulated industries has challenged me to quickly understand complex topics and translate them into stories with impact. I’ve also loved building relationships with both clients and S9ers along the way! 

‍

3. What challenges at work inspire you the most?

I’m inspired by our work that requires continuous learning. I’ve discovered so many nuances of industries that I wasn’t previously familiar with, and it’s rewarding to have those lightbulb moments of connecting the dots and communicating client stories effectively.

‍

4. What do you do to relax and recharge outside of work hours?

I love going for runs or walks, preferably near a body of water for maximum zen, and letting my creative juices flow freely with paints or pastels!

‍

5. What’s your go-to coffee order?

If we’re talking coffee, I like a simple latte with double espresso. If it’s that kind of day, I opt for a strawberry kiwi Celsius. 

‍

6. What do you plan to do with your bonus or extra PTO day? 

I’ll be adding it to my adventures fund! I love investing in experiences and will almost always say yes to concerts, weekend trips, or just trying a new happy hour in the city. Making memories with friends and family is invaluable!

‍

7. What’s your favorite Slide Nine memory?

My favorite memory was exploring NYC when a Columbus team member came to visit. We had a packed week visiting the PR Museum downtown, walking the Brooklyn Bridge and networking with other PR professionals and journalists. Having that in-person connection with the S9 team was incredible and such a great way to kick off the summer!

‍

8. If you could spend nine days anywhere in the world, where would you travel?

Costa Rica! Ziplining through the mountains is something I’ve always wanted to do. Nine days is the perfect amount of time to pack in all those outdoor adventures and still have plenty of time for chill beach days.

9. Who is your favorite social media creator?

I am always tuning in to SubwayTakes with Kareen Rahma. I love hearing people share their hot takes so passionately. It’s a simple way to learn how others see the world, and I think that kind of curiosity is important. It's also a fun reminder to practice expanding your own perspective!
