Kenny Bholanauth proudly serves as the Region 7 Director for the Florida Nursing Students Association (FNSA). He is currently a student nurse at AdventHealth University's Orlando campus, where he is dedicated to building strong academic and professional foundations for his future in nursing. In addition to his regional leadership role, Kenny serves as the Image of Nursing Committee Chairperson, where he aims to elevate and highlight the diverse pathways and opportunities within the nursing profession.

Kenny is deeply family-oriented and values meaningful relationships, both personally and within his nursing cohort. His passion for helping others drives his commitment to supporting students and empowering those around him to grow into the best versions of themselves. He currently works with special-needs children, supporting their academic and behavioral development—an experience that continues to shape his vision for compassionate and advocacy-based nursing practice. His long-term goal is to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), within a pediatric hospital setting.

In his role as Region 7 Director, Kenny is committed to fostering collaboration, creating enriching experiences, and strengthening student involvement. Through workshops such as panel interview preparation, specialty exposure opportunities, and Image of Nursing initiatives, he strives to equip students with practical tools for success.
