Isabel Monterrosa, Volunteer Manager and Creative Planner

Isabel is a San Francisco native who has called West Lawn home for the past 18 years with her partner and two of her four adult children. Though her career has been eclectic and varied, Isabel thrives finding ways to bring knowledge and empowerment to the community. After arriving in Berks County, Isabel worked as a program director for Centro Hispano where she became an advocate for the Latino community of Reading.  Isabel discovered that she loved teaching adult students as medical instructor at Pace Institute before moving to Berks Technical Institute in 2011 where she was Program Director of the English Language Foundations program until 2019. Isabel was honored to be selected by the Complete Count Committee, as Publicity Coordinator for the Census 2020. This role brought her in direct contact with My Gut Instinct team,  who are major champions of promoting the importance of every citizen having value and measure in Berks County. In April of 2022, Isabel joined US Digestive Health Research Team as a Clinical Research Coordinator and is excited to be able to unite her passions for the digestive system and community education as a My Gut Instinct board member.
