My whole of academic career spans over 25 years in positions at La Trobe, Monash and Deakin universities as well as education lead roles at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. My academic career was built on and overlaps with clinical physiotherapy experience, with specialist Cardiorespiratory training at The Brompton Hospital, London and senior clinical roles in Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy both in adult and paediatric populations in the United Kingdom and Australia. Completing my PhD in 2006, I have pivoted to predominantly teaching and leadership focused roles and am currently the course coordinator of the Doctor of Physiotherapy program at the University of Melbourne. My scholarly interests are in the use of technology enhanced/supported learning, ePortfolios to support flexible and self-regulated learning, transition to practice and professional resilience and interprofessional education and practice.
I am delighted to have been accepted as an Associate Fellow of ANZAHPE which has long history of promoting and supporting health professional educators. As an AFANZAHPE I aim to connect, collaborate with and learn from and with other members, building on and sharing my expertise at national and international level. I am also committed to mentoring and championing the health professional educators of the future. Finally, I will contribute to and promote the growth of ANZAHPHE.
