Bio

Hi, my name is Ilwaad Mohamed! I am the youngest in my family and a first-generation Somali-American. I am passionate about social justice, inclusion, and helping those in need! I am a sophomore at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a BA in Psychology. I hope to use my major to provide accessible mental health support for underrepresented communities. I love to dance and spend time with family and friends in my free time!
