Biography
Isabella (Bella) West-Just was born and raised in Sydney, Australia as an only child with a single mother.
She grew up as a competitive gymnast training 25 hours a week for her entire childhood and most of her teen years. From a young age, gymnastics was all she knew until she discovered drama in high school and fell in love with acting and watching movies. She would watch movies and TV shows on repeat all the time when she realised that that was all she wanted to do as a career.
After high school, Isabella traveled to the USA to work at a summer camp in Upstate New York and afterwards decided to road-trip California by herself. It was there she realized that she wanted to pursue acting full time, so when she got home she auditioned for Sydney Theatre School.
During her studies Isabella was able to portray roles such as Lady Capulet in “Romeo and Juliet’ and Tameka in the self-devised play “The Warren”.
Isabella hopes to continue to play a wide range of roles and tell stories through her acting and inspire others, just as she was inspired by actors herself.
