Marxe Student Spotlight: Isabel Torres
BSPA '27 | 2025–27 Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholar
For Isabel Torres, public service is about creating opportunities that empower others to succeed. As a 2025–27 Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholar, she is preparing for a self-designed Summer Voyage to Mexico City, Copenhagen, and Casablanca, where she will explore how governments and nonprofit organizations support students' post-secondary success through mentorship, guidance, and skill-building programs.
Since transferring to the Marxe School, Isabel has found a close-knit community that has challenged her to think critically about public policy and social impact. Through coursework, public service experiences, and meaningful mentorship, she has deepened her understanding of the systems that shape educational opportunity and community well-being.
Inspired by her volunteer work with the Women's Committee of Plumbers Union Local 1 and organizations supporting young people, Isabel is committed to building a future where more students have access to the resources, confidence, and support they need to thrive.
