I have over 20 years of management and real estate valuation experience. My early career was established in the hospitality industry with a degree in Hotel & Resort Management. This is where I honed personnel and customer relations skills while managing teams of 100+ employees.In 2004 I exited the hospitality industry and began a career in real estate valuation; ultimately becoming a Certified Residential appraiser. In 2010 I accepted a Staff Appraiser position with Clear Capital. I was quickly promoted to a leadership role managing the forensic repurchase line for the GSEs. This experience in forensic valuations provided the foundation to develop highly successful quality assurance processes in the origination space.In 2014 I transitioned to the role of Appraisal SME at Clear Capital. In this role I had oversight of quality assurance processes across all appraisal product lines. I successfully developed sustainable quality assurance processes that complied with client guidelines, agency requirements and USPAP. My ability to forge strong client relationships allowed me to quickly resolve client concerns and identify successful strategies to mitigate future risk. In September 2015 I made the move to DVS-AMC in the role of Chief Appraiser. I pride myself in bringing a balanced approach to the valuation arena. My approach considers the spirit behind appraisal guidelines, risk mitigation, valuation fundamentals and the evolving requirements of the valuation industry.
