Hi! I’m Anna Isbell.

This town is my home

My husband Matthew, our two boys (Atticus, 12 & Lochlan, 10) and I have lived in Bella Vista since 2018 and in NWA since 2016.

I grew up in Northern Wisconsin excelling in athletics, including a WIAA State Championship in basketball. I earned a full-ride basketball scholarship to the University of North Dakota, where as a role player, was part of the University’s 1st NCAA Division II National Championship team. Sports laid the foundation for my competitive spirit, work ethic, leadership and ability to work on a team. I then graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. 

Fast forward to today, as a working parent I’ve spent the last 8 years working for a Fortune 1 company, responsible for a multi-million dollar weekly budget, exceeding sales, leading teams and working with manufacturers across the globe to meet the needs of our members. Solving problems brings me a sense of accomplishment, which further fuels my passion to serve.

I’ve recently retired from my 4 year commitment in a leadership position as the Corporate Chair for our Indigenous Associate Resource Group within Walmart US. I did this in order to prioritize being your City Council Member. I am in my peak and have abundant time, energy and focus to support the citizens of Bella Vista and lead us into this time of responsible and transparent growth.

As a family we enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, paddling, hanging out at the Gear Garden, basketball, martial arts and football (especially the Green Bay Packers)!

Let’s move Bella Vista Forward, together!
