As Vice President of Operations at Alias Intelligence, I support a growing platform that provides due diligence and background search services to attorneys, lenders, and other commercial real estate professionals. Since joining the firm, I have had the opportunity to contribute to a period of significant growth by collaborating across teams, supporting operational initiatives, and helping ensure the organization is positioned for continued expansion. Leveraging my commercial real estate experience and industry network, I focus on strengthening client relationships, supporting our team, and reinforcing Alias's reputation as a trusted due diligence partner.
My career began in residential appraisal, providing a strong foundation in valuation and market analysis. I later joined Freddie Mac's Multifamily Credit and Underwriting team, where I deepened my expertise in credit risk and structured finance. Before joining Alias Intelligence, I served as Director of Credit Underwriting for the CBRE Small Balance Loan platform, where I was first introduced to Alias as a client and relied on their services across our lending operations.
Drawing on my experience in lending, underwriting, and commercial real estate, I enjoy connecting operational execution with client and industry relationships while supporting both internal teams and external partners. Through CREFC and the Women's Network, I enjoy building meaningful relationships, sharing industry insights, and supporting the continued advancement of women in commercial real estate.
