Abbie Richie is an entrepreneur, mother of two school-aged children, wife of 16 years and devoted daughter of many. She is the TECH GURU FOR SENIORS, the founder of Senior Savvy, which provides Zoom workshops and technical support throughout the US. Senior Savvy is the marriage of two things Abbie loves – helping older people and technology.
After helping many of her friend’s parents and her in-laws, she realized there was a huge need for personable and patient tech support for older folks. In 2018, Abbie started Senior Savvy, though she will tell you that Senior Savvy started in her a long, long time ago.
Growing up in Los Angeles, she spent a lot of time with her grandparents. Nana and Papa fostered a deep respect and admiration through their commitment to her family and their community. After college in Boston, she moved to the SF Bay Area for grad school, right before the “dot com boom” and received an in-depth education on all things tech. Since then, she has continued to learn everything about technology while patiently teaching seniors the skills they need.
In April 2020, her workshop students began requesting she offered her classes on Zoom. The pivot allowed her to expand Senior Savvy tech support to senior communities around the US.
Abbie Richie is the “Tech Guru for Seniors,” the host of ABBIE IS LIVE on Facebook, and the founder of Senior Savvy, which relieves tech stress for older people, so they can excel in today’s world. She has been featured on ABC, CW, Fox, the Isiah Factor, Senior Living News, and the Will Gather podcast. She has spoken at several conferences on the topic of creating engaging virtual activities AND SHE LOVES YOUR GRAYS!
