I am an anatomist and educator with a background in laboratory-based research in stem cell biology and reproductive medicine. Earlier in my career, I held combined teaching and research positions and collaborated internationally on stem cell science. Over time, my focus has shifted toward transforming anatomy and medical education.

My work helps improve how students learn anatomy. histology and embryology by combining traditional cadaver-based teaching with digital and immersive learning tools. This supports students in developing practical skills and critical thinking for their future clinical practice. I also lead curriculum development and educational leadership initiatives in anatomy teaching at UNSW.

A key challenge I address is how to make complex concepts like human development, reproduction, and anatomical structures more accessible and engaging for diverse student cohorts. I work to support the next generation of healthcare professionals by improving their learning experiences.

To do this, I draw on my experience in both laboratory science and education. My work spans anatomy education research, digital learning innovation, and collaboration on improving how anatomy is taught in health and medical sciences.
