opportunities. The firm invests with its high net-worth investor partners and to date has acquired

approximately 1,500 units valued at over $165 million.

Prior to forming Alara Ventures, she served as an Officer and Senior Vice President of Camden

development of its multifamily investment strategy, research, acquisitions and dispositions. Prior

to that she served as President of U.S. Residential, a subsidiary of U.S. Advisors, where she

was responsible for the Company’s multifamily investments. Before joining US Advisors,
