Today is such a special and emotional day for our Tea House family. ❤️
Many of you know our Kylie — my niece, my right hand, and one of the biggest hearts behind The Talking Teacup since day one. Today, she graduated from college with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, along with a minor in Data Analytics, and will officially begin her new career in July as an Operating Room Nurse. We could not be more proud of her. 🎓
Last night at her nursing award ceremony, Kylie received the Theresa Healy-Miller Award for Excellence in Clinical Courses — an incredible honor that reflects her compassion, dedication, and hard work throughout nursing school. 🩺✨
Over the years, Kylie completed clinical rotations at several local hospitals, volunteered with Girls on the Run, coached high school girls basketball, completed research involving deep learning in disease detection through her Data Analytics studies… and while doing all of that, she was also here at The Talking Teacup serving guests, helping in the kitchen, baking, prepping, running food, and doing whatever needed to be done.
She is one of the hardest workers I know.
Kylie has brought laughter, energy, creativity, and so much love into our kitchen over the years. She made even the busiest weekends fun, and so many memories inside these walls include her smile, her hard work, and probably a little dancing in the kitchen too. 💕
While she’ll still be with us through June before our summer break — and hopes to return to help during our fall and holiday seasons — this marks the beginning of an amazing new chapter in her life.
So many of our guests have watched her grow up here at the Tea House, and I know many of you will want to join us in congratulating her on this incredible accomplishment.
We are beyond proud of you, Kylie.
The operating room is lucky to have you. ❤️
Love,
Your Tea House Family at The Talking Teacup 🫖
