We're Geekly and We Know It

She said she loves working at Geekly Media because of the chance to learn new things and the great brainstorming sessions (we have a lot of brainpower at Geekly!).

“I like my work, and I think I’m lucky to work on different projects for our clients,” she said. “Geekly Media also allows me to take care of my three little kids while still growing professionally.”

When she’s not designing and solving complex HubSpot issues for clients, Ella enjoys spending time with her family and playing board games with her children, including Monopoly (which she claims to be unbeaten). She also likes to travel, read, meet with friends and visit some of the beautiful ancient castles and palaces of Ukraine. “It’s interesting, and I’m grateful to be a part of it. I hope to show it to our children one day.”

Her favorite place on earth is the Dniester River’s shore near Bakota. She loves sushi and can’t believe it took her so long to discover this deliciousness. Plus, she loves to teach her children to cook some of the best Ukrainian cuisines.

“I love the people that work here at Geekly Media. It’s more like a family than it is a workplace. Everyone here works hard and supports one another. There is truly not another team like this one. Oh and I get to use HubSpot everyday!”

Erin lives in the frozen foods section of the United States with her husband and two beautiful daughters. When she’s not using HubSpot at work, she likes to visit her parents in the Florida Keys and enjoys sweet treats.

Before Geekly Media snagged her amazing talent and hardworking approach to everything she does, Erin was a virtual assistant for a drop-shipping business and Australian property management companies. She also worked as a call center agent before her five-year (to date) work as a virtual assistant.

Erin enjoys being part of the Geekly Media team because it’s a fun working environment (obviously). She enjoys that everyone is nice to each other (for real, we really are), and there’s room to grow in her role and within the company.

In her spare time (and when she doesn’t have many chores to tackle at home), she and her partner of seven years (Kurt) go for walks, take photos, and enjoy eating out. They also enjoy staying home, binging great TV shows, sleeping, eating Ramen (while trying not to eat bacon every day), and playing with their three cats (Derpy, Clengcleng, and WoaWoa). Erin is also looking forward to adding a Bully to their fur-family, which they plan to name . . . Ramen.

When she’s not helping clients, Joanna likes to watch anime series and online window shop. She’s also teaching herself how to play piano, so ask her to play Rocket Man by Elton John next time you see her. She is a self-proclaimed introvert and is perfectly happy spending a quiet evening at home eating anything with shrimp and sipping on a fresh green mango shake. Joanna also takes care of her two dogs: Blacky, because he’s black, and Teachie, because of the song “Teach Me How to Dougie,” (What?) but also answers to “Beachie,” especially if there’s food involved.

Before she made this place a better place, Mariah was a sports geek working for Texas A&M women's basketball, the Houston Astros (where she earned a World Series ring for her stellar performance off the field), as well as Texas Teachers.

Mariah loves working at Geekly Media because she gets to learn new things from the brilliant people she works with! In addition, she loves the positive environment that drives everyone to do their best work. In her spare time, Mariah lives in Texas and loves live music, live sports, doing anything outdoors, and living off of chips and queso.

Mercedes likes to do Pilates, Soul Cycling and watching chick-flick while eating her favorite comfort food (poke and tacos). She has a soft spot especially puppies and anything pink & sparkly.

Mikki loves working at Geekly because she feels like she belongs (It’s because she does). She also believes the wit, the energy, the geekiness of the people at Geekly Media feeds her soul.

In her free time, Mikki loves to play Call of Duty (and just shoot things in general) and work Sudoku puzzles. She represented her home country of the Philippines in international Sudoku competitions, which is probably why she’s so good at solving accounting problems. Although Mikki has traveled to some of the best places on earth, nothing compares to the beaches in the Phillippines, she said. Her favorite foods are pizza and chicken wings (the perfect combination). Mikki lives with her two Golden Retrievers, Orie and Yellie, and loves to vacuum dog hair every single day. Her favorite piece of advice is “keep a lint roller in the car.”

In his past lives, Ross managed a RadiosShack and owned a bunch of other random businesses. With over a decade of experience in the property management and real estate industries, he's an integral Geek in almost everything we do as Geekly Media (except writing copy—he's not allowed to do that).

Ross loves being part of the team here because there's always a new challenge. We're constantly creating, and we've built a culture with people who come together to problem-solve with massive amounts of wisdom to answer every client's need.

In his free time, Ross enjoys (in no particular order) building VPM Solutions, spending time with family, going to the beach, playing basketball, watching movies, eating Italian subs, and hanging out with friends. His favorite place on earth is Costa Rica (where he once lived and still loves the beaches and culture). His dog, sister, nephews, and mom are his world, and he would do anything for them. Beware of touching his food, and don't schedule meetings during his feeding time.

Before making it to the Geekly team, she managed client service teams, was a personal trainer (and now misses her abs), and built a makeup and skincare business. She's run three half marathons, has traveled to some interesting locations around the world, has ridden an ostrich, and lives in Texas with her husband Chris and dog Quinn. Geek on!
