Sharul Sonthalia and Isabella Rao, both proud members of the JIS Class of 2013, reconnected in 2019 when they happened to meet at Elizabeth Street Garden in New York City’s SoHo.
What began as a chance encounter quickly grew into a relationship! In 2024, the couple got engaged and returned to Indonesia, with Sharul now involved in tech startups and investments while Isabella teaches English at the French School Jakarta.
They celebrated their wedding in 2025 with family and friends in Ubud, Bali. Isabella also carries a special JIS legacy as the granddaughter of Nagaraja Rao and Shankarama Rao, who were part of our school’s founding group in 1951.
