    Isabella has had the privilege of being a social worker for over 30 years. Those with whom she has worked have taught her much about courage and grace. She has been employed primarily in the nonprofit world, with people who suffer from the disease of addiction. She has worked with homeless youth and students in public school settings. Her career has taken her to the East Village of NYC, to south London, and to Berlin, Germany where she designed and taught seminars in patient communication to medical students preparing to join Doctors Without Borders. She has loved her work. But of all the opportunities she has had, the one for which she is most grateful is her initial training and internship at Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
