She attended DeMolay events long before she realized the lasting relationships she would build and the love that would sprout through the organization. She was initiated shortly after her 11th birthday, in September 2019 into Rainbow. There, she has used those teachings to improve her self growth and overall confidence. Throughout the years, she has taken a hiatus from the Order to better support H. Malvern Marks Chapter, located in Fort Worth, Texas.

Through holding these positions, Isabella has strived to grow relationships with her brothers and encouraged growth in the Chapter. With these memories, it drove her passion to compete for a state position.
Isabella is beyond grateful for being installed as State Priory Queen on July 18, 2026. She hopes to learn more about Priory as a whole and strengthen bonds each Priory within the 2026-2027 year as she serves alongside her peers.
