Emma's (M24) story began in Adelaide, South Australia. Since her days of working as a clown and decorating cakes, she has since become fascinated by tattoos and memoir writing. She believes that always present between the lines and throughout the chapters of her life is the power of art to nurture human connection and - as Robin George Collingwood (1938) theorises - enable one's emotional exploration.

You’d have a tough time finding a story as complex and touching as Elysia’s (M26). On one hand, she’s an award-winning musician, open-water swimmer, and an apsiring YouTuber. But on the other hand, she’s had to overcome a nearly-fatal car accident, an eating disorder, and the challenges of Minerva life.

Ambitious to say the least, Chloe (M22) never backs out from anything - unless it’s an outdoor hike. Her double major in business and computer science speaks volumes on how she takes on every opportunity to learn and grow. She aims to bridge finance and social impact through her current work on analyzing charities. Never in one place, just always moving forward. Find her on instagram @chloe_gabrielle!
