Dr Simone Gibson from the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food received the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Education (Quality of Teaching) while Ms Ruth Fantozzi, from the Department of Medicine received the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Administration.

Dr Gibson, a senior lecturer in the Nutrition and Dietetics courses said of her teaching, she optimises clinical and professional skill development to equip nutrition and dietetic students for work-integrated learning and employment after graduation.

“This award is great in that it recognises the importance of quality teaching at Monash University,” Dr Gibson said.  “I am very humbled as I know there are fantastic educators in our Faculty.”

“Achieving this award would not have been possible without the amazing and supportive team in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food,” she added.


Ms Fantozzi provides high-level Executive Assistant support to Professor Peter Ebeling in his role as the Head of the Department of Medicine, as well as for his role as Chair of the Division of Medicine at Monash Health.

Ms Fantozzi said winning this award would not have been possible without the inspiration she’s received from her seniors and colleagues, for whom she has the deepest respect.

“In particular, I would like to thank my boss, Professor Peter Ebeling and our School Manager Dr Eugene Fredericks who have enabled me to challenge myself and perform better at each stage,” Ms Fantozzi said.
