From humble beginnings growing up in the Western Australian regional city of Geraldton, Nyiyaparli-Yamatji-Nyungar lawyer Emma Garlett has gone on to win the country's most prestigious overseas post-graduate scholarship. Ms Garlett took out the John Monash Scholarship to study a Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Civil Laws at the University of Oxford. The 27-year-old is seizing the scholarship as an opportunity to upskill, so she can return to Australia better equipped to help her people. She dreams of leading the charge to help Aboriginal people play a bigger role in the mining industry by using their traditional knowledge to advise on issues such as mine-site rehabilitation, conservation, and preservation of cultural heritage and so prevent tragedies like the destruction of sacred sites like Juukan Gorge in WA's Pilbara.
