Isabela Moreira Ferreira

Isabela is an International Student from Brazil who spent her teenage years in Nicaragua. In her previous life, she was a professional ballet dancer with the National Ballet Company of Nicaragua. In 2018 she moved to the US to escape the political conflicts of her country and dance with American Repertory Ballet in Princeton, NJ. Once realizing the lack of mental health support in the ballet world, she retired from dance, moved to Philadelphia and started studying Psychology at Rowan College at Burlington County. At Columbia she is pursuing a double major in Visual Arts and Cognitive Sciences with specialization in Psychology. Isabela loves to learn about different cultures and to talk about hospitality.  She is the founder of the International Students Club as well as the International Students Representative at GSSC and a peer advisor for GS. Outside of campus, she likes painting in the pier in Hoboken where she commutes from and to spend her time with her pets who will occasionally come to campus with her. Don't hesitate to contact her at any time.
