Episode 103: Geek Interview: Tech Talk for Women with Ellie McBride
New tech got you nervous? We’ve brought in our pal Ellie McBride to talk about how she helps women bridge the gap between their fear and succeeding in all the amazing tech advancements they can embrace!
About Ellie McBride
Ellie McBride is an American expat living in Northern Ireland since 2017. After moving across the world to be with her Northern Irish husband, she struggled to find the flexibility to spend much time back at her other home in Oregon to see her friends and family. In this quest for flexibility, she realized building an online business from the ground up is the way to have everything she ever wanted in life.
Ellie started out as a freelancer back in 2017. As a Virtual Assistant, she worked online with business owners in areas like social media planning, creating slick systems and automations, and perfecting their email marketing systems. However, Ellie soon realized many of her clients struggled with the same: Creating efficient processes to help open up their time for the tasks that truly needed their attention.
Now she uses the skills and tools she learned from her days as a VA in her work as a Squarespace website designer. Ellie helps create a solid backbone for your business with systems that connect to your website and grant you the freedom to let go of repetitive tasks and focus on the work you’re truly excited about.
Ellie’s goal? To give you a beautiful home on the web for your message and your work all while helping make your work more efficient.
Ellie serves women who own small businesses and are building them from the ground up by creating beautiful, functional websites with built in time-saving systems.
About Tech Talk for Women
Us geek girls know a thing or two about tech (some more than others), but we also see so many women interested in tech, gaming, and geek culture who feel daunted at the thought of learning something new.
Women for so long have been discouraged from getting techy. It’s not so much from the millenial and younger generation, but the women Ellie works with feel unsure about making even the simplest changes on their website.
Ellie’s on a mission to make tech accessible and more straightforward. She believes women are absolutely capable of embracing tech and getting shit done!
We fully support on her quest and you should to!
