I am a clinical academic sonographer from Adelaide, Australia (Kaurna land).
In my clinical world, I am a specialist obstetric and gynaecological sonographer. While I love performing all aspects of gynaecological and obstetric ultrasound, my main passion is the diagnosis of endometriosis with transvaginal ultrasound.
In my research world, I am a PhD candidate with the IMAGENDO group at the University of Adelaide. Our team is investigating the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance diagnosis of endometriosis with imaging. My PhD research specifically focuses on the use of AI as a self-learning tool for sonographers learning to perform transvaginal ultrasound to diagnose endometriosis.
In 2022 I completed a Masters degree by research, which also focused on transvaginal ultrasound of the diagnosis of endometriosis.

I am an experienced speaker and workshop facilitator for all things gynaecological ultrasound, with a passion for empowering other sonographers (and doctors, physios, midwives) to gain confidence in scanning for endometriosis.
My combined clinical and research expertise has made me a world-leading expert in the utility of transvaginal ultrasound for the diagnosis of endometriosis. I have had the privilege of being invited to speak on this topic at numerous international conferences including the World Congress of Endometriosis, ISUOG World Congress, the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction Congress, and the WFUMB World Congress of Ultrasound.
