Returning to my hometown Cairns is always relaxing. Returning to Cairns in winter is a luxury - because the weather is lovely, and not cold at all. Centacare have a program where they are mentoring 20 people in launching their companies. They invited me to give a public lecture to share my experiences and advice in starting a company. To promote the lecture, the Cairns Post featured me on the cover of their Weekend newspaper magazine.
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.
