Vicki Murphy Email and Phone Number

Being co-founder and CEO of KISS is one of my greatest pleasures. Bringing my mother Kathy Murphy's and my vision into reality is incredibly fulfilling. I get to help small businesses simplify the red tape and helping them get their financials in order so they can grow or apply for lending or survive a pandemic. It's a little like being a rain maker.Kathy and I were Zumba Fitness instructors while working on under grad degrees in 2012. Our first business venture together!! The global pandemic brought that back around and I'm now leading Virtual Zumba Classes and dancing with "mama" in spirit and get to see some of our original zeeps all the way on the east coast using Zoom <3
