ISABELLA ESTEVEZ

As a young Latina and African American woman with a passion for finance, Isabella Estevez understands the transformative power of access, whether it be to education, opportunity, or community. Through her school’s Global Scholars Program, she became aware of the stark gap between the financial knowledge shared in affluent circles and the limited resources available to underserved communities. Determined to bridge that gap, she took action.

Isabella is the founder of IsaBellonWallStreet.org, a digital hub dedicated to democratizing financial education and making trusted resources accessible to those who need them most. From simplifying investing concepts to creating free budgeting tools and sharing credit-building tips, Isabella believes that financial literacy is a right, not a privilege.

She is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in finance at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business. Her interest in business and finance has been shaped by her leadership as a DECA Regional Officer, co-founder of her school’s Koala Portfolio and Advanced Bloomberg Program, and dedicated participant in the Global Scholars Program. Her achievements are grounded in service, with over 200 hours committed to uplifting others through community work and peer support.

At Notre Dame, Isabella hopes to continue exploring how finance can be used as a tool for inclusion, education, and equity. She plans to build on her work with IsaBellonWallStreet and one day launch her own nonprofit or financial firm focused on expanding access to financial resources for underserved communities.

The name IsaBellonWallStreet is more than a domain, it’s a declaration. A belief that the future of finance is inclusive, shaped by diverse voices, and built to uplift every community.
