Isabella Barbieri

I am a confident and creative individual with strong communication skills. My background as an office manager and personal assistant has equipped me with excellent organisation skills, and comfortability managing others and ensuring business runs smoothly. My experience in acting and performance has ensured I have exceptional interpersonal skills, enabling me to connect quickly with new people and communicate in an open, clear, and approachable manner.

My years of writing experience and Creative Writing Prize from my MA show my dedication to writing and excellence, as well as creativity.
