Outside BERK
Born and raised in Seattle, Isa loves the city and never cancels plans just because it’s raining. After work, you can find Isa taking advantage of all the free deals across Seattle (think first Thursdays and samples at Costco), while splurging and going all out on plays, story slams, outdoor concerts, and any sort of community event. She is always ready to embark on adventures, whether that’s biking across the county, kayaking from Seattle to Alaska, or spending a Sunday afternoon exploring new parks around the city.
