Lisa Fisher

On Campus Recruiting Coordinator

 

This job gives me purpose after twenty years of working in retail management. My previous career experience in fast-paced environments allows me to face challenges courageously and showcase my customer service skills. I utilize my planning and coordinating abilities to create successful teams differently now. I create a wonderful, safe place for students to be their best.

I am here for the students interviewing for the next step in their journey and for the employers looking for “Ready to Roar” Tigers to help their companies succeed. Working in higher education brings joy to my life, and I am eager to see how I evolve from the hustle of retail life to contributing to LSU’s success!

My Ready to Roar advice

Learning how to talk about your strengths while staying true to who you are takes time, but you’re in the right place to grow. The Career Center's Mock Interviews and Career Prep events can help you build confidence and learn how to stand out from the crowd. Be proud of what you’ve accomplished and let them hear you roar!

My favorite spot

The Memorial Oak Grove. Walking through the area makes me feel like I’m in the movie “Ferngully,” with the lush vegetation around the gorgeous oak trees. I love taking a stroll and admiring the small forest in front of the Student Union. It reminds me of state parks throughout the Southeast and makes me feel at home in Baton Rouge.

Words to live by

“One day at a time” – my dad.

My dad battled with pancreatic cancer for five years, and although he is gone now, he made a significant impact on the medical community. Being around him brought light and love to others; he became a spiritual life coach for everyone around him. Every day with him was a blessing and a memorable moment. His response to his diagnosis was “one day at a time.” I didn’t know what that meant since he raised my sister and me to be hard workers who could achieve anything and to always look towards the future to exceed our present. It took me a decade after he passed to understand what that meant. We do not know how long we have in our lifetime; what we can do is enjoy the things that come our way and take it all in one day at a time.
