Isabela Gamez

SBS College

Isabela is a first-generation college student. She decided to pursue a BA in Journalism after a “light-bulb moment” during the summer before her senior year of high school when she participated in the Journalism Diversity Workshop at the University of Arizona and have been invested in journalism ever since.

She is passionate about sharing stories of the voiceless and highlighting the stories of migrants. Her work has been published by the Arizona Mirror, an independent, nonprofit news organization that covers public policy for Arizona residents.

Isabela hopes to continue learning about the communities in the borderlands. Isabela will be doing her internship at Coalición de Derechos Humanos.
