Savannah Tilley Email and Phone Number

I assist office personnel with research, correspondence, faxes and filing, as well as aiding in bookkeeping and entering transactions into QuickBooks. I manage payroll, inventory, sales, accounts receivable and accounts payable. I distribute mail and messages throughout the day while answering phone calls, organizing and scheduling appointments. I attend many webinars and seminars which are available to expand my abilities and knowledge in such things as preparing taxes, learning new laws and procedures, and being able to effectively communicate on a professional level.

Through this job I got the opportunity to work with a great team. It was a very fast paced environment and at times very stressful. I learned how important team work truly is, although everyone was essentially on their own, we all needed the restaurant to run as one cohesive unit to please our guests. I learned how to prioritize, manage my time and multitask under great amounts of pressure.

During my internship I assisted with and promoted the local neighborhood's revitalization project. I got to learn a lot about the policies and procedures of HUD, the vision of Choice Neighborhoods and how differently people can view change in their community. Additionally, I got to conduct research on data and concepts to apply to the development of the south side in downtown Wilmington, NC. I learned a lot about the history of the town and how the past can propel such distrust and suspicion so far into the future it's effects last centuries. I also located potential grant opportunities and helped organize and edit transformation plans with which we then used to canvass the community for support.

I worked at IHOP entirely through college. Working at least one job throughout the years and being a full time student, I learned how to manage my time wisely. Through this job I learned how to communicate effectively and to convey diplomacy, I also learned how to sustain a positive drive and developed extensive skills in customer relations and interface communication.
