Her favorite teacher is Josh Kier, “He pushed me to do my best and I learned a lot of things from him.” Soccer coach James Brown, and Mistie Dickenson both served as role models to Bradley. “Both of these people had a huge impact on my time at north cross and made it an overall great experience for me,” Bradley said. 
     Bradley enjoys any kind of fruit as her favorite food. Recently, she went to Puerto Rico and that serves as her favorite trip. “It was so different from what I’m used to being around. Culturally everything was a lot different,” Bradley said. In her freetime, Bradley enjoys playing sports, hanging out with friends and family, and also just being outdoors. Her most valued hobbies include playing soccer, and listening to music. “What stands out most to me about Isabel is she shows up everyday ready to work. Even on the bad days she gets the job done and is always there to help anyone who needs it,” said her friend, Lexi Hash ‘22. Whether it's on the field, at school, or just anywhere Isabel is always motivating or helping others. “Isabel perseveres. She has been through a lot in her short lifetime and yet, she stays positive and friendly to everyone”, said her biology teacher, Mistie Dickenson.
