About me
Brooke is an academic developer within the Teaching Innovation Unit.
Prior to academia, Brooke worked for over a decade as a radiographer/sonographer in major public hospitals. Her passion for teaching and learning saw her complete a graduate diploma in education, and she enjoyed being able to link her clinical and education knowledge in previous roles as course coordinator then program director within the medical sonography programs at UniSA.
With a continuing focus on skills development and awareness in allied health professionals, Brooke has explored the use of high-fidelity ultrasound simulators in the teaching of obstetric ultrasound skills has completed her PhD program where she investigated the development and accuracy of self-judgement and evaluation of clinical skills competency throughout tertiary health education.
Preparing students to be safe, reflective, and collaborative health practitioners has been a major focus of Brooke’s work, with experience as course coordinator for the capstone course of the medical sonography program. Brooke especially enjoys the challenge of how best to support students’ educational needs whilst equally encouraging students to be autonomous in their learning.
Brooke has recently accepted that she no longer needs to add two spaces following a full-stop, but will continue to persist in her use of the Oxford comma.
