ISABEL Lee Roden
chicago-based actor / writer /model
Hi! I’m Isabel (they/them).
I’m a Filipino-Chinese, genderqueer actor / writer / model. I’m based in Chicago, IL and represented by Paonessa Talent Agency. Proud campfire guitarist, oldest sibling, middle school spelling bee champ, skeptical tarot reader, expert suitcase packer, and lover of words. Let’s make art together.
