- JOURNALISM
Isabella Escobedo is a second-year journalism master’s student. She currently works as the graduate assistant for the University’s Center for Environmental Journalism and as a Fellow for KUNC, Community Radio for Northern Colorado. Before she moved to Colorado, she was in Tempe, Arizona, where she earned a bachelor's degree from Arizona State in Conservation Biology and Ecology. Her current goal is to connect people to scientific research through storytelling.
Her introduction to research came freshman year when she participated in research about inequality and climate change with a PhD student. Later, she assisted on a master’s thesis focused on urban wildlife distribution in Phoenix, AZ. Finally, she completed her own thesis on the extinction of experience phenomenon in Arizona, specifically in the Latino community.
When she is not working or studying, she enjoys reading, spending time at local cafes, and working on the New Yorker’s crossword puzzle.
