Alisa earned her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UCLA in 2023 and is building her career in Learning and Talent Development. Throughout college, she has had various job titles from a bookkeeper to a dancer at California Adventure’s Lunar New Year parade. 

From her various club involvements, she grew an interest in learning how to create a group environment where people can collaborate and thrive. After learning more about the field of Human Resources she became specifically interested in Talent Development where she enjoys finding ways to help people develop the skills to build a fulfilling career path.

During college, she worked at the Career Center as a student worker and gave multiple presentations to students on professional development. She was also involved in a networking club as Director of Workshops where she developed her own workshop series around career development for psychology majors.

She is currently working at Hyundai Motor America under the Talent Development team. She provides admin support for leadership development programs & training, such as uploading & testing online course content and troubleshooting when employees face technical issues. She has also helped highlight the team's impact to business leaders by learning Excel and creating multiple interactive dashboards with learning data. This year she is focusing on developing her skills in facilitation and instructional design.

As a leader of the Young Professionals Special Interest Group, she is excited to create a collaborative space where early-career HR professionals can share experiences, learn from one another, and develop the skills needed to grow in Learning & Talent Development.
