I am passionate about education for our future sonographers and strive to assist students acquire the knowledge to provide better patient care.
Background
Following on from a background in radiography, I have been a qualified sonographer for 20 years and worked in a number of environments (both specialised and general) in both public and private settings. Since 2006, I have been a specialist sonographer in women's and newborn imaging where I performed both routine and tertiary scans for gynaecological, breast and obstetrics imaging, including multiple pregnancies and fetal echocardiography. I have been employed at CQU since 2015. I am involved in various voluntary roles with the Australasian Sonographer's Association (ASA) and present at many conferences. I was recently awarded an Fellowship by the ASA, in recognition of my achievements and service to the profession. In 2021, I received ASA Awards of Excellence for Tutor/Clinical Supervisor of the Year.
