Pittsburgh, PA (GO STEELERS, GO BUCS, GO PENS) native Kelly King has always been bossy. Ask her younger sister, Theresa. It’s true. But that bossiness is delivered through a heart of service, gratitude and love…as well as a tenacity to achieve any goal she sets her sights on, and those goals are often for the greater good of her friends, family and community at large. Yup – been that way since birth. Ask her Mama…it’s true. As a member of our team, Kelly is part of the driving force that keeps Mrs. Green’s World reaching for opportunities to further our mission and vision – not only for our business but most importantly, for the global community that calls this planet “home”.
Kelly’s journey to Tucson, Arizona (GO CATS) went the way of Westminster College (GO TITANS) in New Wilmington, PA to Indiana University (GO HOOSIERS) in Bloomington, IN…where she received her Masters degree. Having worked several years in higher education at the University of Arizona, she journeyed to Canyon Ranch where she met a mutual friend of Gina Murphy-Darling’s. That mutual friend repeatedly (for years) told Kelly that she needed to “meet her friend Gina” and one fateful evening…it happened. At a business networking event, Gina and Kelly sat to talk for awhile – neither realizing that they were the person their mutual friend insisted they meet. Gina left Kelly that night with a lingering statement, “we are going to work together one day”….and hence, it was true. 10+ years later and they are working together – doing the good things for people, planet and Mrs. Green’s World.
Kelly celebrates JOY on a daily basis and is so very grateful for her life with her two inspirational children and her forever rock, her husband.
