Hi. I'm Celia - I've been a sonographer for over 20 years, and in 2015 made the transition into lecturing within this amazing undergraduate sonography course here at CQU - the only undergraduate ultrasound course in Australia! This is the most challenging job I've ever had, but also the most rewarding - I just love it!

After coordinating two of the biggest lab-based units that teach sonography students practical skills, I am now coordinating units that lead into these two big lab units, to ensure students have the anatomical, pathological, and sonography image recognition knowledge before getting into that driver's seat as the scanner. While these can be challenging units for students, the knowledge base they develop will be used every day as sonographers.

I am currently studying my PhD on professionalism in sonography and I have to say, while this is very exciting, I definitely know how our students feel with how scary and hard study and learning new things can be! However, this is where we all need to keep focused on why we're doing this, and just keep going ... one step at a time! We've got this!

If you see me around campus, feel free to say hi, and please do let me know if I can be of assistance to you in any way.

Have a great day!
