Isabella received her Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Support to Finance in 2009 from the University of Bari, with a thesis on stochastic discrete time models supervised by Prof. Rosa Maria Mininni.

She has been working for COISPA Tecnologia & Ricerca (Bari, Italy) since 2009 as responsible for demersal and small pelagic stock assessments for the Southern Adriatic, South Tyrrhenian, and Western Ionian Seas. She also works on the development of statistical analyses, fish population mathematical models, bio-economic models, preference modelling, optimization of biological sampling methods, data quality procedures, and software development. She is involved in several international projects as Task and WP coordinator.

She attended ICES courses in stock assessment models (introductory and advanced), Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE), statistics and mathematical modelling, VPA, Stock Synthesis, and FLR. She also participated in the advanced school on quantitative methods for EAF application (AMARE-MED).

She is routinely involved in STECF (Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries) and GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean) stock assessment working groups on Mediterranean stocks.

She is currently a PhD student in the PhD Program in Life, Environmental and Drug Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. Maria Cristina Follesa. Her research focuses on the assessment of the status of red coral and spiny lobster stocks in Sardinian Seas and the bio-economic evaluation of ad hoc management measures for these key marine resources in Sardinian fisheries.
