For Isabella Brooklyn Negron, performing has always felt like more than just a dream, it has felt like something she was destined to pursue. Growing up in Massachusetts as the third of four siblings, Isabella has always found herself drawn to acting, modeling, and performing. Whether she was watching her favorite television shows or imagining herself on the screen alongside the actors she admired, she knew from an early age that she wanted to become part of the entertainment industry.
Today, that dream is becoming a reality as the eleven-year-old prepares to attend iPOP!, where she’ll have the opportunity to showcase her talents before agents, managers, and industry professionals from around the world.
“I’ve always been interested in acting and modeling,” Isabella says. “Every day I would watch TV shows and think about how I could be one of those stars one day.”
When her mother suggested auditioning for NYLA Talent and iPOP!, Isabella didn’t hesitate. She took the opportunity.
Preparing for the Opportunity
Since beginning her journey, Isabella has dedicated herself to improving both her acting and modeling skills while continuing to balance another passion, competitive gymnastics. The discipline required to train as a gymnast has helped prepare her for the commitment that comes with pursuing a career in entertainment.
“I work hard every day,” she says. “I want to be my best at iPOP! and beyond.”
Her preparation has included working alongside industry coaches, including Robert Vito and Connor Weil, both of whom have helped build her confidence as she prepares for one of the biggest experiences of her young career. One of the things she’s looking forward to most at iPOP! is finally meeting them in person.
“I’m excited to thank them for helping prepare me for this next step.”
Inspired by a Disney Star
Like many young performers, Isabella has found inspiration in actors whose careers began at a young age. For her, that person is Zendaya. Growing up watching K.C. Undercover, Isabella admired not only Zendaya’s performances but also the professionalism and confidence she brought to every role. If given the opportunity, she’d love to ask her about her journey and hear advice on building a successful acting career. In fact, Isabella’s ultimate dream role would be starring alongside her favorite actress.
“I would love to be in a movie with Zendaya,” she says with a smile.
Dreaming of Hollywood
If Hollywood called tomorrow with the chance to join any production, Isabella already knows her answer. She’d jump at the opportunity to appear in a Spider-Man film or any project connected to the Marvel universe. Action, adventure, and larger-than-life storytelling have always fascinated her, making superhero films the perfect place to combine her love of acting with her energetic personality.
More Than a Performer
Outside of acting and modeling, Isabella leads a busy life. She competes in gymnastics, enjoys riding her bike through her neighborhood, spending time outdoors on nature walks, and relaxing with friends while playing Roblox. She also learned to play the recorder during elementary school, discovering another creative outlet that allows her to express herself through music. Although entertainment remains her greatest passion, Isabella believes maintaining balance and enjoying everyday life is just as important.
A Family That Believes
Behind every young performer is a strong support system, and for Isabella, that begins with her mother. She describes her mom as her greatest inspiration and biggest supporter, always encouraging her to keep chasing her dreams regardless of the challenges she encounters.
“My mom reminds me to never give up,” Isabella says. “Every step gets me closer to where I want to be.”
Those words have become a guiding principle as Isabella continues working toward her goals.
When asked what advice she would give herself, her answer reflects the same determination.
“Never give up and continue to pursue your dreams.” It’s a message she hopes other young performers will embrace as well. “Take every chance life gives you because you never know if you’ll get another one.”
Looking Ahead
When asked to describe herself, Isabella chooses words that reflect both her personality and her outlook on life. She considers herself kind, thoughtful, enthusiastic, caring, and goal-oriented—qualities that continue to shape both her personal life and her growing entertainment journey.
Over the next year, she hopes to achieve one major milestone, booking a role in a feature film.
As Isabella prepares to attend iPOP!, she knows this is only the beginning of a much larger adventure. She’s eager to learn from industry professionals, meet fellow young performers, and continue growing as both an actress and model. Most importantly, she hopes people remember one simple message after meeting her.
“I am Isabella Negron,” she says confidently, “and I am unstoppable.”
With determination, discipline, and an unwavering belief in herself, Isabella Negron is taking the next step toward making her Hollywood dreams a reality, one audition, one opportunity, and one performance at a time.
