Meet Our Talent Team

Laura Mendoza
Recruiting Director
As your first point of contact at Pacific Advisors, I have the pleasure of conducting your initial interview as well as being your concierge throughout the stages of our interview process and introducing you to your future team. Our firm, and all of our associates, are dedicated to our collective values (DEEDS: Do the right thing, Embrace Teamwork, Elevate the Community, Drive Improvement and Solve the Problem). Our associates are a part of building our culture through those values and becomes a part of something more than a business team. We are a family, each of whom has the space to build their practice how they want, with the support and guidance of all. I’m an ambitious, disciplined, open minded individual. I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, and A.A. Professional Designation Merchandise Marketing degree, Cum Laude from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. The skills and knowledge I’ve obtained while at FIDM have attributed to the experiences gained through the various internships, and freelance opportunities I’ve been a part of. I have a broad background, with a high proficiency in recruiting, management, customer service, and business operations. I’m innovative, creative, and have high communication and interpersonal skills, which I utilize daily at Pacific Advisors.
Felice Diercks
Head of Recruiting and Development
I am an experienced financial advisor with over 20 years of directing client acquisition, developing talent, and educating the community on financial literacy. Developing and coaching advisors from the beginning to sunset of their careers taught me how to take complex information and make it digestible. Sitting on both sides of the fence, as an advisor and a manager, my teams and I work within the corporate America bureaucracy to create a client and advisor experience that is unique in the industry. As a dog owner who loves to travel with her family on the weekends you can often find us exploring. I am also an avid supporter of financial independence programs- contributing regularly towards charities and speaking at universities and industry conferences to bolster fiscal empowerment at every stage of life. I want to leave this world better than I found it, and I need to change my focus from the monetary side of financial literacy to the tactical side. Teaching others how to take control of their personal fiscal policy is my true passion.
