ISABEL WANGCo-Founder and Executive Director
Isabel Wang grew up working on community initiatives in race-relations education and public-health program implementation, where she saw how access to essentials like food and early learning opportunities could shape children's abilities to fully engage in class. Those experiences sparked her commitment to strengthening educational foundations. At Stanford University, Isabel studied Symbolic Systems and immersed herself in technology and innovation, gaining an appreciation for the creative freedom of digital empowerment and the barriers faced by those without reliable access to technology and digital education. This led her to join teams building digital health tools to share information and support kids, teachers, and healthcare workers. After graduation, she taught elementary school students in Taiwan through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, reaffirming her belief that education and technology can help open doors. Now, Isabel attends Yale School of Medicine while co-leading Bridging Tech, volunteering at HAVEN Free Clinic, and participating in the performing arts.
