In this inspiring episode of Mobility Mavericks, host Brooke Krieger sits down with Arishna Lastinger, Director of Parking Services at Auburn University, to talk about what it means to grow within an organization—both personally and professionally.


From starting as an administrative assistant to leading one of the most forward-thinking campus mobility programs in the Southeast, Arishna shares how mentorship, community involvement, and staying curious have shaped her nearly decade-long career at Auburn.


Brooke and Arishna dive into:

  • The power of staying and growing with one organization
  • How industry associations like IPMI and MSTPA open doors for leadership and influence
  • Lessons in servant leadership and navigating male-dominated spaces with confidence
  • Why women’s voices matter now more than ever in the mobility industry

Whether you’re just entering the field or already shaping its future, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to chase growth—you can cultivate it right where you are.
