Chairman of the Board / President

She developed a machine called Baylor Cell Saver for Autologous transfusion that is being used now all over the world. She also attended school for Public Broadcasting, Reporting, Scriptwriting and Directing at Liverpool, England.

Inspired by a great purpose, and driven by her love for a noble ambition to help fellow nurses achieve their dream, and those who aspire to become nurses, Ms. Kennedy returned to the Philippines and founded the Kennedy Review Center which is the forerunner of the KGSBI. She developed a review course for NCLEX-RN/PN and introduced a US adapted Practical Nursing Program which at that time was unpopular among Filipinos.

She was instrumental in introducing the Practical Nursing profession in the country and the procedures in applying for eligibility to challenge the NCLEX-PN in order to be licensed as Practical Nurse and worked as such in the United States. With her leadership, KGSBI was the first Philippine school offering Practical Nursing to attain a 97.27% passing rate for the NCLEX-PN.
