The young star (photographed left with Headmistress, Lesley Watson) was spotted during a Moira House production of Pied Piper of Hamelin and later presented to casting Agents in London by the shows Director, Jeremy Taylor.
The Head of the National Youth Theatre was bawled over by Isabelle’s voice - getting her the audition of all auditions.

After being picked to star in the movie, Isabelle began filming along the other cast members at the prestigious Pinewood Studios in London.
Isabelle’s performance was highly praised by the Film’s Director leaving Moira House Headmistress, Lesley Watson in complete admiration for her young pupil;

We are all very proud of her and what she has already achieved,
she said,
but the most important thing is how much she is enjoying it.
It is lovely to see.
