Journalism Isyana began her career as a journalist in 2003, when she was hired as a reporter for
Trans TV. About a year later, she moved to TV7, now known as
Trans7, where she worked as both a reporter and a news presenter.
Politics In 2014, Isyana joined other young people, including
Grace Natalie and
Raja Juli Antoni, to found the
Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI). The following year, she formally ended her journalism career and began pursuing politics as a chair of the PSI's Central Leadership Council. She cited as inspiration her grandmother
Gedong Bagus Oka, a Hindu reformer who once served in the
People's Consultative Assembly. As a PSI representative, she also ran for a seat in the
House of Representatives for the
Banten III district, receiving 48,819 personal votes. However, her party did not reach the 4 percent threshold necessary to enter parliament. In October 2024, Isyana was named deputy minister of population and family development in new president
Prabowo Subianto's
Red White Cabinet. In this role, she also serves as deputy head of the
National Population and Family Planning Board. == References ==
