Isa Escobio
Trust Associate
As a Miami native and first generation Cuban American, family plays a critical
role for Isa, shaping her identity. At an early age, Isa demonstrated
an inherent need to help others. Whether it was a family member who required
assistance completing chores, or a peer student struggling with a disability,
Isa was the first to volunteer. It was no surprise that Isa would go on
to receive training as an educator and specifically, worked with special
needs children. Her passion for helping others became her vocation.
After college, Isa co-owned and managed a tutoring center and educational
summer camp. Through this experience, Isa witnessed firsthand the needs
of children, the importance of family unity, and the support systems necessary
for children and families to succeed.
It was during this time that Isa’s uncanny business skills and entrepreneurial
abilities flourished. Isa worked long hours and created individualized
educational plans to ensure her students’ success. Isa discovered
that a child’s education is just as important as the social and
financial health of his/her family unit. Finding solutions meant utilizing
her background in education as well as her practical knowledge in finance
and business.
In June 2020, Isa found a home at FND. FND shares her passion, and provides
the tools and resources necessary for realizing her goals, of advocating
for children and families. Her unique background is an asset to the FND
team. She works tirelessly for her clients, offering no-nonsense solutions.
Isa values above all else her commitment to her clients. She is dedicated
to bridging the gaps faced by the disabled. Her unparalleled work ethic
rivals only her drive to help others.
Isa’s patience and compassion shine through in both her personal
life and professional career, but she demands the same in return. Isa
does not ask for change, she is the change.
"We but mirror the world."
