In Robogals, I always looked for the hardest possible thing to do. And then I did it.
Because I knew that if I could achieve that, then I would attain a level of confidence in my abilities that would allow me to take on even bigger, more ambitious activities in the future.
I didn't know what I would be like at the end of the project. I just knew I would be a better version of me.
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.
