With 12 years in nonprofit operations, finance, and management—and several more across corporate and creative industries—Isul brings a broad range of professional experience. Her nonprofit work has spanned mission-driven organizations focused on human rights education, youth development, environmental justice, and public and community health. She built her operations foundation as chief of staff at We Are Family Foundation, a global youth changemaker accelerator. While earning her Applied Accounting certification from University of California Irvine, she worked at Physicians for Social Responsibility LA, where she deepened her nonprofit finance and accounting skills. Just prior to joining GEC, she served as an operations and finance consultant for startup nonprofits. In that role, she assessed and developed operations infrastructure, established financial compliance controls, and implemented robust processes through data-driven and mission-aligned systems.

Isul holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Harvard University, where fellowship grants supported her work at international NGOs and her thesis research on organizational behavior at fair trade organizations.

When not working behind the scenes in ops, she is an inspired home cook who enjoys the epic sunrises, sunsets, and star-filled night sky of the Mojave Desert, with her giant dog, Gus, by her side.
