Isabella Laurel

Associate Director of Marketing

Isabella earned her degree in Graphic Design from the University of Maryland in 2018, followed by an MBA in Marketing and a Graduate Certificate in Project Management. During her undergraduate tenure, Isabella not only competed as a high jumper on the Track & Field team but also interned in the university athletics marketing department for all four years.

With over 5 years of experience in higher education marketing and communications, Isabella returned to her alma mater, applying her expertise for the launch of xFoundry@UMD. In her current role, she orchestrates the strategic marketing and communications efforts, effectively engaging students, faculty, and the broader community in entrepreneurship opportunities and grand challenge competitions.

Outside of work, Isabella is an avid traveler and photography enthusiast. You can probably find her unwinding at the piano or watching the latest movies and binge-worthy TV shows.
