With over 26 years of experience in sonography, Teresa developed a passion for obstetrics and gynaecology very early in her ultrasound career. She has worked in a multitude of clinical settings from radiology, Queensland Ultrasound for Women (QUFW) (previously Brisbane Ultrasound for Women), and various Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) units. For 7 years Teresa also worked for a corporate ultrasound company, where she was able to share her love of teaching and develop her business acumen within the ultrasound domain. In 2020, Teresa returned to QUFW as the Chief Sonographer and is now their Operations Manager. She continues to work clinically and loves seeing the younger generation of sonographers excel and develop through quality education programs and teaching.
