Hi all! Welcome to my very public blogging page! I am Toni Fabian '25, the middle child of my family, from a small town in sunny Southern California. I plan to study economics and human-centered design. I am passionate about culture, educational equity, and social justice. I will be writing about all things Dartmouth, from the infamous FOCO cookies to the resources and opportunities offered here on campus. I am truly so excited to bring you along with me while I navigate my college journey!

Well, hello there! I am Toni Fabian and I use he/him pronouns. I am from a small picturesque city called San Juan Capistrano, situated in sunny Southern California. I am sadly the middle child of my family. Just kidding! I love my sisters a lot and I think they are amazing! My little sister is learning how to add and subtract negative numbers, lol. On the other hand, my big sister is studying for the MCAT. I love my dad and mom so much, too. They are authoritative and hard-working. I look up to my parents a lot because they taught me the importance of family.

I went to St. Margaret's Episcopal School for high school and learned a ton. I was able to cultivate my love for learning by taking classes that I was genuinely interested in. A person that truly changed the way that I viewed the education field was my Upper School Headmistress, Dr. Graham '96. She inspired me to be the best person that I can be by teaching me the importance of kindness, hard work, and dedication. Her experience at Dartmouth truly helped me realize that Dartmouth was the home that I wanted to go to.

I am extremely passionate about educational equity, social justice, and culture. I believe that education has the power to change lives. I am a first-generation college student and plan to delve deeper into my love for sociology, economics, public policy, and Latin American, Latino, & Caribbean Studies. I fell in love with Dartmouth's close-knit Indigenous and Latinx community. I plan to tell you all about the magnitude of resources and opportunities offered here at Dartmouth. I will be writing about my passions, college class reflections, and most importantly articles on FOCO goodies, such as the infamous chocolate chip cookies. Bye!
