An ASU alumna, Lisa began her career in Student Business Services in 2014 before advancing to serve as part of President Michael Crow’s Executive Administrative Team, experiences that strengthened her foundation in leadership and university operations.

Her transition into Human Resources was a natural fit, aligning with her passion for supporting others, solving problems, and fostering workplace cultures where individuals feel valued and heard.
