Izzy trained as a lawyer with Herbert Smith in London and qualified into their energy department in Paris. In September 2011 she decided to embark on a new challenge and joined Moss Fallon as a consultant to retrain as a family lawyer. Izzy originally graduated in Modern Languages from Cambridge University and went on to work as a journalist in current affairs and subsequently for Horse and Hound. She spent two years at the Countryside Alliance, carrying out press and public affairs duties, and working on two high profile high court legal cases. This persuaded her to retrain as a lawyer, and she completed a conversion course at City University and the Legal Practice Course at BPP Law School.

Izzy was brought up in rural Herefordshire and has kept strong links with the countryside throughout her working life. She enjoys equestrian sports, in particular horse racing, hunting and eventing. She also enjoys music, theatre, the arts, and travel.
