Isabel Browning

Isabel has long been captivated by the natural world and its astonishing diversity of life. From an early age, she was drawn to the ocean, eager to explore and learn about the fascinating creatures that call it home. This passion led her to pursue a degree in Zoology and Marine Biology at Michigan State University. After graduating, Isabel moved to the Florida Keys, where she worked as a Marine Science Instructor. Here, she was able to combine her love for marine life with hands-on education; leading kayaking, scuba diving, and snorkeling excursions. This experience deepened Isabel’s commitment to educating the general public about the importance of protecting our marine resources. Upon moving to Washington D.C., her passion has been further ignited by spending time at the Natural History Museum—specifically in the Ocean Hall and as a Volunteer in the Aquaroom— where she feeds and monitors jellyfish. In her free time, Isabel enjoys scuba diving, traveling, reading, and cooking. She is dedicated to a career focused on marine conservation, with a strong desire to ensure that future generations can continue to experience the ocean’s extraordinary wonders.
