Isabella Harnick

Advisory Board Member

Isabella Harnick is an Administrative Fellow at NYU Langone Health. While she is interested in transforming healthcare, particularly, she realizes that in order to have a healthier population, we must also have a more united one. Now more than ever, it is her belief that we must help to heal and unite our society as it navigates overcoming 2020’s trials and tribulations as well as the historical injustices prevalent in our society. She is particularly excited to be a part of the UMUCO Love Team, as she is someone who firmly believes that we must work together to build bridges of understanding and that that can only be done by forming connections outside of our immediate circles in order to realize elements of shared history.

Alexa Natale is currently a student at Cornell University studying Policy Analysis and Management while minoring in Law and Society, Human Development, and Business.

With this in mind, she is a big advocate of unification and eliminating hate through this process of understanding and learning about other cultural backgrounds. Alexa is honored to have joined UMUCO Love and the amazing team that also attempts to eliminate hatred by emphasizing our unique backgrounds. She is motivated to utilize these backgrounds to create a closer community among others and to spread love through telling peoples stories.
