What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a compliance and affordable-housing role where I can ensure audit-ready certifications, lead regulatory training, and partner with property teams to reduce compliance risk and drive strong lease-up and resident outcomes.

I’m a compliance-focused professional with over 8 years of experience in HUD and tax credit (LIHTC) property operations. I ensure eligibility and regulatory adherence for resident certifications, keeping files audit-ready through careful review of income, household composition, and application documentation.

In my roles as a Compliance Specialist, I’ve led compliance operations for multi-property portfolios—reviewing initial certifications and annual recertifications, implementing annual updates to income limits and utility allowances, and tracking certification corrections for timely resolution. I also prepare and submit quarterly and annual reports to state agencies and lenders, and I support internal audits with strong documentation standards.

I’m known for leadership, precision, and building partnerships across property teams, residents, and regulatory agencies. I stay current on HUD and LIHTC regulatory changes, communicate updates clearly, and deliver compliance training that strengthens on-site regulatory knowledge. I bring a practical, process-driven approach to risk identification and corrective actions, while supporting lease management and core financial processing needs.
