She likes to go to the movies, reads science fiction and fantasy books, and loves the sciences. She had a fairly positive outlook on life.

BACKGROUND :
Izzy and her family live in Paterson, New Jersey; a very ethnically diverse city. While she has only taken Spanish as a second language in school; she can say "Hello", "Goodbye", "How much is that?". and "How are you?" in at least seven different additional languages.
Her father is the general manager of a grocery store and her mother is an accountant for a large corporation in Newark. Her brother Eli is going to college on a sports scholarship and is studying economics and business.
Her abilities manifested last year at the beginning of her senior year of high school. Because she doesn't look "unusual" she was able to keep it hidden for the most part. She did tell her parents and they told her to not tell anyone. Her mother frets that she'll be attacked or targeted by the police and every day makes Izzy promise to not use her abilities to break the law. A promise that is pretty easy for her to keep at first. While not a genius, she was a regular on the A and B honor rolls throughout her scholastic years.
She did practice with her abilities at home but hasn't really tried yet to stretch or learn the full extend of her powers. She has found that it's easiest to manipulate electronic devices if they are wifi or bluetooth capable.
After graduation, she still hadn't decided what she wanted to do. College would be the logical next step, but in the end she decided to take a year off to just travel. She had inherited her brother's old beater of a car so after getting her parents blessing, she started on a cross country trip; heading down the coast first to Florida then across the southern states all the way to California. She stopped now and again to take jobs for money but always letting her employers know she was just passing through. Most of the time it was waiting tables at diners, but she also worked as a farm worker during the fall months. That was really hard work, but it did give her a greater appreciation for farmer and food in general. She wintered in California because the weather was easier.
Now on her loop back towards home, she's stopped in a small town in Idaho. Not because she wanted to, but because the old beater finally died.
