Zeekchick? We Like The Sound Of It.

March 4th, 2011 - Jeff Turner

We’re good at a lot of things here at Zeek Interactive. Herding cats is not one of them.

And make no mistake about it, we’re cats. Self-herding is not in our nature. We need help. Luckily, we’ve found it. We are happy to announce a new member is joining our team – Kelley Koehler, aka @housechick.

While Kelley is best known for her work as a REALTOR® in Tucson, Arizona, and as a nationally recognized real estate blogger, she has always thought of herself as “just a geek in realtor clothing.” And for good reason.

She graduated Cum Laude from the University of Arizona, Tucson with a degree in Systems and Sofware Engineering and immediately moved into the tech space as a Systems Engineer at Siemens/Gardner Transportation Systems. In her duties at Gardner Systems, Kelley was responsible for the creation, implementation, and maintenance of quality control and testing for the company’s various software systems. She was also Co-Owner of Applied Real Estate Technology, where she helped develop and market a cutting-edge IDX solution with an indexable WordPress aspect. She is a member of the advisory board for the Social Media Marketing Institute and is a highly regarded speaker on topics related to optimizing lead-generating websites and social media profiles to drive sales.

We are honored to have her join our team. At Zeek, she will combine her sales and marketing background with her passion for all things geek to help us better serve our clients and insure that every product we create is delivered with the highest level of testing and quality control.

She will be moving from Tucson to Southern California to join us full time in early April. We can’t wait!
