I am a senior lecturer, course coordinator & Breast imaging stream lead in the medical sonography program, with an academic background in medicine and radiology. My expertise is in women's health diagnostic sonography and online learning. My focus is to foster life long learning in students. My doctoral research is on supporting student self-regulated learning and higher order thinking  and explores students' knowledge transfer from online courses to real life jobs. My innovative online teaching practices on authentic assessments and higher order thinking have gained local, national and global recognition, including the AAUT citation for outstanding contribution to student learning from Universities Australia and the Online Learning Consortium's (USA) "Innovation in online learning to support student learning". I recieved the Higher Education Advance Fellowship (FHEA), recognising attainment of the UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and learning in higher education. I am proud to be the inaugural Fellow of the Australasian Sonographers Association for my sustained contribution to the profession.  I have held several leadership roles in national and international sonography education committees. The most rewarding collaboration is with the World Health Organisation in the ACTION trials.
