Bookkeeper & Property Manager
In 2010, Sallie Truluck graduated from the College of Charleston with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Minor in Mathematics and a Concentration in Leadership, Change, and Social Responsibility. That left her with a lot of words on a diploma, but no direction on where to go.
Luckily, she met an overwhelmed CPA that was willing to undertake the challenge of educating a young girl in the world of bookkeeping. Sallie soon realized that this wasn’t only a skill for the left side of her brain, but it was something she enjoyed! Throughout two more years of learning, Sallie has become the diligent bookkeeper she is today.
As for the right side of the brain, well, it needed to breath. Since 2008, Sallie has been teaching Jazzercise classes and has also worked with Lowcountry Local First as both an intern and as an Event Coordinator for Eat Local Month. She has also ascertained other responsibilities and skills such as marketing and working with social medias. Sallie is currently pursuing her Real Estate License as Flyway grows their Flyway Real Estate and Flyway Management Division.
