Impact Christian Academy welcomed Jacksonville Free Press reporter Lynn Jones as a guest speaker for Team Nitro MMA SEAL, where she shared her journey as a leader, entrepreneur, and media professional.

Students gained valuable insight as Jones spoke about how her faith, vision, discipline, and determination have guided her path to becoming a respected voice in journalism and business.

“We want to thank Ms. Jones for her continued leadership and impact,” said Team Nitro founder Nashon Nicks.

Her message left a lasting impression, encouraging students to pursue their goals with purpose, resilience, and confidence. During an engaging Q&A session, students asked thoughtful questions and walked away inspired to take action—creating vision boards, committing to reading more books, limiting screen time, and preparing themselves for an increasingly technology-driven, AI-focused future.
