\u201cAround 2002, I had been doing graphic design for my realtor,\u201d she explained. \u201cThat eventually led to printing. After designing flyers and business cards, I had to outsource the printing of them, so I decided to open a printing business. And the rest is history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today she has expanded her print offerings and provides a wide variety of options to her customers. She said she works hard each day to provide her customers with the best products and the best customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI always tell people I don\u2019t feel like I am competing with anyone,\u201d she said. \u201cThere could be 14 printers in this town, and it wouldn\u2019t matter to me. As long as I and my team are doing what we are supposed to and to the best of our ability, then I am good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is also continuing to DJ and stays booked, sometimes years in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI only do it once a month,\u201d she said. \u201cI stay pretty booked up. I was asked in 2021 to do a graduation in 2023. I\u2019ve been doing this so long, I\u2019m now DJing weddings of students that went to Farrar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also hosts an annual music event, \u201cHIStory told by Her,\u201d where Murray performs songs from pop music icon, Michael Jackson. The event started out as a one-time fundraiser for Farrar and has now been taking place, sometimes bi-annually, for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Murray, the inspiration for the show came from her deep-seated love for all things Michael Jackson and a desire to help people. This gives another avenue for her to help those in need in the community and an opportunity for people to come together and enjoy a fun, family show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years, the event has benefitted a wide range of nonprofit organizations and schools that include Jack T. Farrar Elementary School, Robert E. Lee Elementary School CDC, Horse Play Inc., the Literacy Council, Alzheimer\u2019s Tennessee, and CASA Works Inc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Murray said while it is hard to believe the time has flown by, she has enjoyed every minute of the past 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI love it. I learn something every day. I love helping people,” she said. GN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
