Emily Garlock

Emily describes her educational path as untraditional, as she switched from homeschool to immersion programs and self-directed curriculums to dual-enrollment with the local university. In addition to being drawn to Minerva’s innovative take on academics, she wanted the opportunity to travel and grow alongside a community.

“Our world is more interconnected than ever before. It has never been so critical to remove stereotypes, to challenge cultural divides and beliefs, and to redefine what it means to be who you are and where you are from.”
