LeAnn Erimli, known as That Geeky Lady, is a seasoned, tech-savvy Virtual Assistant and Technology Coach who has been helping business owners tame their digital chaos for more than two decades.

LeAnn launched her VA business back in 1998, long before remote work became the norm.

Her calm, practical approach has transformed frustrated entrepreneurs into confident business owners who actually enjoy using technology.
