What starts as a simple conversation at a campus career fair can sometimes lead to a life-changing opportunity. That’s exactly what happened to Isabel, now a Senior Early Career Talent Coordinator at Pacific Life.
 

In this inspiring interview, Isabel shares how a chance meeting with a recruiter sparked the beginning of a dynamic career journey—one that’s taken her from customer service to talent acquisition, and full circle back to the very team that first welcomed her in. Read on to discover how mentorship, curiosity, and a passion for people helped Isabel find her place—and her purpose—at Pacific Life.

 

Tell us about how you got started at Pacific Life.

I joined Pacific Life straight out of college after meeting the Early Career Program Manager, Nicci, at a campus career fair. I had an interview the very next day, and throughout the process, I was struck by how deeply Pacific Life’s value of people came through. I knew this was where I wanted to start my career. I began in Customer Service before pivoting into Talent Acquisition, and now I report directly to Nicci—it’s a full-circle moment I’m really proud of!
 

What does your current role look like?

As a Senior Early Career Talent Coordinator, I get to wear a lot of hats. I recruit interns and early career talent and build partnerships with local universities and student organizations. I also help coordinate and execute our internship program, including training, events, and manager collaboration to assess intern potential for full-time roles.
 

What’s your favorite part of the job?

Definitely the students! Whether it’s meeting future talent at campus events or mentoring interns during the summer, I love hearing their stories and watching their excitement to launch their careers. One of the best parts is seeing someone I met at a college fair join the internship program, get hired full time, and grow their career at Pacific Life. It’s incredibly rewarding!
 

How has Pacific Life supported your career growth?

As a career changer, I’ve been lucky to have managers who believed in me. My former supervisor encouraged me to explore a new path, helped me build the right skills, and supported my internal move. My current manager continues to challenge me with stretch assignments that help me grow and explore my potential.
 

Did mentorship play a role in your journey?

Absolutely. I’ve had leaders who empowered me to pursue a career I never expected. I was a Finance major in college—HR wasn’t even on my radar—but trying something new turned out to be the best decision. I don’t have a rigid long-term plan right now, but I’m excited to keep learning, stay open to opportunity, and grow wherever the path leads.
 

What advice would you give to someone just starting out?

Stay open-minded, be curious, and don’t be afraid to take risks. You never know where it might lead!
 

What do you enjoy outside of work?

I’m a proud dog mom to Sophie, the world’s cutest miniature cocker spaniel. We love beach walks and sweet treats! I recently picked up crocheting—and you might even find me line dancing on the weekends.
