Claudia Paul is one of the many first Aboriginal women to score the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University. She narrated not to limit yourself to set your dreams high just because others can't. Break that high glass ceiling. Dr Claudia Paul, a Wiradjuri woman from Broken Hill, has achieved a lot in her 26 years, but her goals are even more impressive.

During her time at university, she was a student representative with the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association, and was active in a mentoring group that fostered links between Indigenous medical students and medical practitioners.

She now hopes to be one of the first (if not the first) female Indigenous surgeons in Australia and to eventually establish a surgical outreach service for rural and remote areas. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
