How are you? And share your story with me about role models.
26:54
Oh, thank you, Melissa.

I do think there aren't enough female role models, but I am very, very fortunate that I've had a lot of male role models along the way.

I actually came to Australia as an Australian by descent through my mother, and I applied to every life science company that I knew of in Australia and the three people who responded were female women CEOs of biotech companies and it wasn't until much later that I realised how important that was and how they changed my life.

But when I came to Australia, I've had a great career and I'm really, really grateful for all the men who have supported me.

But I do think it would have been much, really helpful to have female role models.
