Long Bio
Lisa Comstock’s career at Arizona State University has been defined by growth, challenges, and rewarding opportunities. As a Human Resources professional at one of the largest public universities in the United States, she has learned to navigate complex organizational needs with adaptability and purpose. 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. Backed by a master’s degree in social work, Lisa brings expertise in conflict resolution, employee relations, and advocacy for both individuals and organizations.
Lisa is committed to shaping the future of HR at ASU, whether through championing new initiatives, enhancing employee experiences, or mentoring emerging professionals. She views her work as an opportunity to create lasting, positive impact across the university community.
Outside of her professional role, Lisa enjoys parenting her spirited pre-teen daughter and spending time running, cooking, and hiking. She has completed five half marathons—four in Phoenix and one in Los Angeles—and while she cooks more than she runs today, she anticipates participating in future races.
For Lisa, job titles and résumés reflect only part of the story. She values the relationships built, lessons learned, and growth experienced throughout her career. With an eye toward the future, she remains committed to continued learning, mentorship, and professional growth—confident that her most meaningful chapters are still ahead.
