After the competition, she was quoted as saying, "The competition was tough, but the support of the people at Antenna helped me a lot, even in Kiev".
Isavella speaks 5 languages (Greek, French, English, Italian and some German) and aside from modeling, she also has moved into the fields of acting and music. She has obtained a piano diploma (June 2007) with the best possible grade and the compliments of the jury.
