Profile
qualifications: MA PhD
position: Senior Lecturer, Health Professions Education
department: College of Medicine and Public Health
I am an applied linguist who researches how people use language to negotiate and shape information in professional and educational communication. I work with diverse partners including public hospitals, medical groups, universities, schools, and public organisations, to educate, review, and develop interventions which have a positive impact on their stakeholders. A strong corporate background of senior management roles in merchant banking, marketing, and management in Australia and Europe informs my academic work through a focus on applied research, transition management, and real-life applications in professional contexts. I am a senior lecturer in Health Professions Education and the Course Development Lead of the College of Medicine and Public Health working with our expert teams to develop professional development training and pipeline courses into our award programs. I am part of a highly skilled and enthusiastic group of researchers and educators committed to innovative and evidence-based teaching principles and practice, informed by the latest and best research in the field of health professional education. My responsibilities include teaching in the Master of Health Professions Education, consulting to special projects, and providing professional development, to ensure our participants are work-ready, confident educators who will improve health outcomes for consumers and clinical staff. My research is driven by a commitment to education as a driver for social change and social justice, focused on Healthcare Education, Clinical Communication, Indigenous Knowledges and Equity, and Academic Literacies.
