Tania Fabo

Student & Rhodes Scholar, Harvard University

Oxford-bound Harvard University senior and 2018 Rhodes Scholar, Tania Fabo has big dreams. Her family, originally from Cameroon, moved to Saugus when she was seven. Her parents encouraged and inspired her to pursue educational excellence. Now, as she embarks on a career in oncology research, high on her list is to increase the diversity in scientific fields in order to help marginalized populations. She will share her exploration of the role racism plays in shaping the health of African Americans and will also speak about her identity as a Black woman, a woman in the STEM community, and the isolation she has experienced.
