ABOUT ME

MINERVA GULAY

Minerva, an educator and a creative editor, is the founder of Minacademy, a program dedicated to creating a world of self-starters, passionate visionaries, problem-solvers and integrity-driven youth so that they may go on to building empathetic, productive, and fulfilled lives.
She’s a multi- passionate teacher with a sharp focus on innovation, entrepreneurship and global education. She holds a BA in Communications & Psychology, MS in Publishing from New York University. She has worked at Meredith Corporation, ABC News in New York and she went on to hold a number of management and commercial roles culminating in her own entrepreneurial endeavors for over a decade.  She has traveled and worked across North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Africa both learning and teaching about collaboration, social justice and work environments that enable personal growth. Through her travels, she has worked with entrepreneurs from a variety of backgrounds. Her extensive experience allows her to guide younger generations through educational projects and to bring that entrepreneurial mindset into Minacademy programs.
Minerva Teacher, ...You really mean a lot to me, and I can’t think how my life would be if it weren’t for you. You not only help me to improve my English but also relieve me when I am stressful, give important lessons to me which I won’t forget for the rest of my life. You are an admirable person with the smile that you always wear, with your kind heart, with your energetic nature and with every feature of yours. It is impossible not to love you. I am so lucky to have you as my teacher and I, sincerely, have never felt this connected to a teacher in my life. I hope it isn’t disrespectful of me, but I see you as someone more than a teacher, and I hope you will always be a part of my life." - Zeynep
