Meet Shemeia Wood
Project Manager

Shemeia Wood has gained most of her expertise by being employed by one of the largest financial institutions in America.  Her five year tenure has allowed her to serve in a variety of roles.  Her career has allowed her to focus exclusively on financial servicing for customers.  While residing in Richmond, VA, Ms. Wood started with a smaller bank as a part-time Cash Services representative.  Loyalty and dedication promoted her into a full time status.  While working in this role she strived to understand the complete day-to-day knowledge of operations in the banking industry.  Even though she continued to grow, she realized that the opportunities for advancement weren't promising. 

 

In 2004, she started with Bank of America as a customer service representative.  Ms. Wood knew that she would excel in this role because of her strong background in customer service.  After being in the position for almost one year, she decided to make a life altering decision.  In 2005, she then accepted a role in the Risk Management department as a Fraud Claims Analyst and relocated to Atlanta, GA.  Shemeia was recognized as a team player and won a Spirit Medallion, which is one of the highest awards of recognition in the bank.  Utilizing her creative skills, she came up with an innovative idea to create a Quality Team to assist managers with completing their monthly tasks. This is when she began to see the inner workings of Project Management.  Shemeia's initiatives, experience, and extraordinary customer service skills helped her to land a new role in Operations.  After one year, Ms. Wood was working in Work Force Management.  Here, she was able to obtain full exposure to project ideas and initial or beginning processes. 

 

In 2007, she also obtained a real estate license.  Although, she was not as successful with this venture as expected, she still has a Plan B.  With the economic challenges, this field was the first to suffer.  She has received Six Sigma Green Belt training and will become a certified Project Manager in 2010.  She has recently accepted a role with Bank of America as a Junior Project Manager.  As the Project Manager for Corporate Chics, Ms. Wood has helped the company evolve.  All initial project ideas, implementing the project and the how-to in execution, are her focus.

 Meet Chelsea J. Burton

Business Director
Chelsea Burton is a graduate of Savannah State University and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree. Her concentration was developed in Marketing and Management. While working towards completing this goal, Chelsea was able to intern at The Entrepreneurial Center located in Savannah, GA. Here, she was able to assist aspiring business owners and create business plans, which eventually led to the owners opening their own business. This experience, encouraged Ms. Burton to obtain knowledge while implementing the fundamentals and core components of small business.

Upon graduating, Chelsea spent one year directing the Upward Bound Program at a High School. Ms. Burton was able to impact a large body of students that were preparing themselves for college. She then took a step by accepting a position into one of the most highly accredited manager training programs with Enterprise Rent A Car. Through this role, she has gained a plethora of knowledge in what it takes to run a business. Chelsea has had an opportunity to manage others, Accounts Receivables, recruiting, creating and maintaining business relationships, and execute and exemplify quality customer service.
 
 Recently, she accepted a position with Corporate Chics, LLC as the Business and Public Relations Director. In this role, she heads marketing, works directly with media and press related issues, coordinates, organizes, and host events and projects for the owner and the company.

 

 

In her words...


I attended Savannah State University where I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Management.  I began working for Bank of America as an Analyst for three years upon graduating. While working with BofA, I attended Webster University and received my Master of Arts in Business and Organizational Security Management.  At the end of 2007, I was offered a position with SunTrust Bank as an Investigator.

 

Exactly one year later, I was released from the position and have been able to start my career as a business consultant to small businesses and entrepreneurs.  


I am an Artist in every aspect of the word. Writing, singing, acting, traveling, shopping, and coordinating business is in my DNA and comes natural for me.


My first business venture started with The Quick Snack Shop while in undergrad for an Entrepreneurship class. I also interned at the Savannah Entrepreneurial Center where I assisted small businesses with marketing and assistance in writing business plans. In 2001, I co-founded and became the 1st president of a non-profit organization: Sisters Striving for Excellence, Inc. Currently, I hold the position of National Executive Director.

In August 2007, I became a Leisure Travel Consultant. I began Global Journeys, a home-based travel company. However, the demands of my most current and completed project, CORPORATE Chics, forced me to totally focus on the company.

 

I’ve always wanted to be in business. Being of service to others is a disciplined and focused journey. Knowledge is vital and being a resource to others is a part of servicing and this is the reason that I have always wanted to pursue Entrepreneurship.

 

I have encountered barriers and stumbling blocks, but each time I have overcame them. My aggressive personality and willingness to be fruitful has helped me to experience that sometimes you have to fail in order to become really great at your talent or gift.

 

Through completing formal training by attending college, as well as, through the positions I’ve held through the banks, I have obtained more knowledge through experiences. I don’t think that college is vital to becoming successful. No one can teach a person how to make sound quality decisions. Your God-given talents is really all you need once you figure out your gifts.

 

Through proven accomplishments, such as being a freelance writer, author, actress, singer, co-founder of a non-profit organization, and student, I can provide insight on a variety of topics.
