About Me

My name is Omolemo but I go by Omo. I was born in South Africa and have lived and schooled all over the world. I graduated from University of Rochester in May 2020 majoring in Public Health and minoring in Biology and Clinical Psychology. I hope to continue my journey in physical and mental health by becoming a Doctor of Occupational Therapy.

Outside of academics, I worked as a clinical trials research assistant for UR Dermatology and volunteered at a local nursing home. My favourite hobby is dancing which i've been doing since I was 4 years old.  Other than that, I like to travel, read, watch National Geographic shows and have fun with my friends.

I am interested in helping people live their lives to the fullest. After learning about how important mental health is in over all well being, I became passionate about reducing stigma and finding resources that increase positive mental health. Thus I was specifically assigned to work on The Mindful University Project and I am proud to have Co-founded and Co-chaired The University of Rochester Mental Health Task Force.
