I used to think that someone with my character, with my determination, my ambition and my IQ would mean that I would be successful in life because people would realise that those things were special about me and give me opportunities in life.

Forbes named me a world's top 50 woman in tech & 30 Under 30. I founded Robogals and Aipoly and was Young Australian of the Year 2012. Currently working on robotics company Aubot. I'm the youngest Member of the Order of Australia (AM) and I give speeches around the world.
