Isabella Hindley is an accomplished professional in labor policy and labor force participation rate analysis. Joining Ulman Public Policy in 2023, she has been instrumental in advocating and researching labor policy areas such as labor relations, workplace safety, and job classification. Her key responsibilities include conducting comprehensive policy research, analyzing data for diverse governmental clients, and engaging in committee hearings and coalition meetings.

Prior to her tenure at Ulman Public Policy, Isabella made significant contributions to labor market and immigration policy analysis at the American Action Forum. She led research initiatives on crucial topics like joint employer standards, independent contractor classifications, post-pandemic labor loss, and employment-based immigration reforms. Her achievements included drafting written testimonies, advising congressional offices on labor legislation, and driving the organization's collaborative efforts with multiple coalitions. Notably, she authored the insightful paper, "The Rise of Synthetic Opioids Could Explain Part of the Missing Workforce," highlighting the decline in labor force participation linked to opioid use, especially among men.

Isabella's foundation in this field was laid during her undergraduate years, where she interned at the Bipartisan Policy Center and the American Action Forum. These experiences deepened her grasp of legislative and regulatory processes and involved her in creating research that supports informed, effective public policy.
