What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values compliance and efficiency.

I am an experienced Leasing & Underwriting Specialist with a strong background in fraud prevention, credit risk analysis, and compliance. My expertise lies in streamlining leasing operations, expediting approvals, and maximizing occupancy rates through strategic underwriting. I am well-versed in using property management systems like Yardi, Salesforce, and AppFolio to enhance applicant transparency and reduce financial risk.

Throughout my career, I have successfully reduced application processing times and improved tenant retention by facilitating smooth move-ins and lease transitions. My role at American Avenue has allowed me to minimize fraud risk and ensure compliance with company and regulatory standards. I take pride in making informed leasing decisions that balance risk and efficiency, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the organizations I work with.
