The story of Thessalonika Arzu-Embry can best described as a classic. This is because Thessalonika is the kind of legend that happens once in a generation. At 16, when her mates are just leaving high school, she is already prepping for her Doctorate.
She had been home-schooled by her mother throughout her life. So, when she was smart enough to go to the university at age 11, her mum was a bit scared for her young age. However, understanding that stopping her would mean limiting her success, she let her go.
The university experience was foreign to Thessalonika but she enjoyed that it was an opportunity to learn and experience more. She moved from the College of Lake County to Chicago University and then on to Thomas Edison State College. By age 14 she had earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology.
This year, she will be completing her Master’s degree in organizational leadership and strategic foresight. She won’t be stopping there. She will be moving on to obtain her doctorate in aviation psychology.
She grew up on a naval base and has always been around planes because of her father. She hopes to work for an aviation company and help pilots with their mental health so that she can reduce “human factor errors” such as mental breakdowns mid-flight.
Her mother, Wonder, stated that Embry has always had a passion for learning and began when she was very young. She said that by the time she was 6 she was able to read college books and understand them.
Her IQ was measured at 199, over 30 points higher than Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein.
