Isabel Jones, Film Editor

Isabel Jones is this semester’s film editor. She’s also a junior in Gallatin concentrating in “Becoming Lena Dunham” (more or less). In the few hours she doesn’t spend perusing Netflix or combing her Hoboken apartment for rodents, Isabel can probably be found people-watching  in Washington Square Park, carton of grapefruit juice in hand (she’s weirdly obsessed with grapefruit juice). Other unexplainable obsessions include Edith Piaf, re-watching “Something Borrowed,” Trader Joe’s pad thai boxes and tweezers.
