Tylise Shelton
@tyliseshelton
Sr. compliance testing analyst specializing in mortgage and GSE controls, improving risk management through precise, independent testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior compliance testing professional focused on mortgage, lending, and regulatory controls. As a subject matter expert, I execute independent testing of compliance controls/systems, build test steps against regulatory requirements, and deliver findings to business partners and senior management.
I’ve led compliance engagements end-to-end, owned phases of work, and performed complex analysis to identify areas of improvement. I’ve also enhanced reporting and documentation accuracy (including GSE-related materials), validated key compliance notifications, and implemented FDPA/RESPA-related control reporting for improved efficiency and regulatory adherence.
My career includes deep experience in RCSA compliance monitoring, root cause analysis, corrective actions for third-party vendor issues, and detailed loan/disclosure reviews (HMDA, TILA, RESPA, and more). I bring a structured, audit-ready approach from prior roles including Compliance QC Underwriter and Mortgage Risk Compliance/Risk Analyst II, supported by tools like Archer, ServiceNow, Tableau, Excel, Encompass, and PowerApp.
