She is an accomplished Attorney-at-Law with over 19 years of knowledge, and a wealth of experience in land conveyance. Before being named the CEO, Cheriese started her career at the National Land Agency in the Land Titles Division as a Legal Officer in 2005 which allowed her to garner the key responsibilities to matriculate her to the Agency’s executive team.

In 2013, Cheriese was promoted to the post of Manager, Legal Services and within that same year she had another professional accomplishment by being promoted to Senior Director, Land Titles/Registrar of Titles.
