Skip Murray

Kim "Skip" Murray works as a Direct Support Professional at a group home for people with disabilities. This is her "day job." She is also a volunteer Public Health Advocate who has used her own experience as a former vape shop owner and a consumer of nicotine products to speak out in the Tobacco Harm Reduction space. She helped start the Safer Nicotine Wiki and makes its content. Skip's Corner is her passion project. It's "a safe place to talk about hard things." There, she writes about living with a disability and makes newsletters about Tobacco Harm Reduction. In 2023, she finished the Rutgers Tobacco Treatment Specialist Training course and now helps people quit smoking on a volunteer basis. She combines what she learned at Rutgers with her experience running a vape shop to offer a variety of ways to help people quit smoking.
