Hello, my name is Fatumo Mohamed. I am 22 years old and from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I grew up as the oldest of ten siblings, which taught me responsibility and leadership from a young age. I study Management Information Systems at the University of Minnesota because I’m passionate about how technology can connect people and solve real-world problems, and I also care deeply about environmental sustainability. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and exploring new places. This semester, I am studying abroad in London, and I’m excited to experience the city’s culture and history while also traveling around Europe to discover new foods, traditions, and ways of life.
