Did you say singer? Did you say journalist? Did you say philanthropist? Did you say travel enthusiast? Did you say one of the strongest people I have ever met? Well then, I know just the person. Miss Isabel Engel is all this and more. Whatever it is, Izzy puts her heart and soul into absolutely everything she does, and it freaking shows. Whether you need a hype up woman, a shoulder to lean on, a scream belting buddy, a friendly instigator, or simply put, a friend to go through life with, this is the girl for you. Izzy is there for absolutely everyone at all times - call her, beep her if you ever want to reach her and she will be on it in literal seconds (since she can never ignore a text). As our resident Pub Chair and AMD, OTB would not be the same without her. Always with a smile on her face, Izzy lights up every room she walks into, and we love her for it. Get ready to not only listen to her INSANE belt tonight but also see her absolutely gorgeous singing face and aca bop - she truly is so beautiful :) Everyone give it up for Miss Izzy, our queen tonight and always.


When I’m not singing and practicing OTB’s incredible arrangements (or studying for a COMM midterm), I’m busy FaceTiming my puppy, watching Grey’s Anatomy, or trying to find the best gluten-free eats in the Philly area!
I’m from the DC area, so I love all things politics and journalism!
