  Utilizing my expertise in compassionate communication and spiritual care education, I teach students to apply these concepts in the classroom and clinical settings each day. In healthcare, spirituality is defined as 'that which brings purpose and/or meaning to a person's life and what relationships are important.' That being said, we are all spiritual beings. It is my passion and purpose to infuse these concepts into teaching my students to provide compassionate, spiritual care to each and every life they touch.
