Isabelle is a wonderful stage craft coach - she not only ensures you deliver your speeches with ease on any stage and you land your key messages on point, but she also makes sure that you share your story from the Heart, with every person in the audience feeling that. She enables her coachees/mentees to have confidence in themselves and be courageous in owning the stage and their story. Thank you, Isabelle, for helping me with my Keynote! Your coaching and presence helped me immensely.

Kamil Haque

Isabelle is someone I’ve known for many years now having worked with her first as a student of acting at my studio to eventually calling her a colleague as one of the founding members of The Haque Collective which is the alumni theatre company of my acting studio. As a member of the collective, Isabelle brought her extensive knowledge in marketing as well as her unique sensibilities as an actress. Isabelle is unique in her ability to be a bridge between the business of show business and the craft of acting too. It must be noted that Isabelle’s work ethic is second to none and on many occasions, I have found her coming in to work on her own to delve deep into whatever has been tasked to her. In the past year, Isabelle has studiously shadowed me in workshops with the intent to teach the craft of acting and I’m truly excited by the prospect of her inculcating the same passion for the arts in others.
