🪔 Before Kitchen Monk™ ever cooked a meal or shared a recipe, a nursing school in Pensacola, Florida, lit a lamp in me. The nursing faculty of Pensacola Christian College taught me the Word of God, the fruit of the Spirit, and how to care for people with the compassion of Jesus Christ. Everything Kitchen Monk does grows from that seed. 🌱

🎤 The Only Nursing Commencement Speaker, Class of 2012

The Pensacola Christian College nursing department trusted me to be the only nursing graduation commencement speaker for the nursing class of 2012. Thank you for trusting me, and for putting your faith in me as a nursing student. It means the world to me and to my Baptist Christian family. 🙏

🌟 That day planted a dream I still carry: to become a Flourishing Nursing™ speaker who helps light the lamp for nurses everywhere. 🪔
