Tawah Tamba is majoring in Health Sciences with a minor in Theater Arts at Gettysburg College. Tawah is a valued member of various clubs on campus, including a leadership role for the DiscipleMakers Christian Fellowship (DCF). She was previously the Program Coordinator for the Campus Kitchen, Coordinator for the Center for Public Service, and the Logistician for the Gettysburg African Student Association. In April 2023, she was selected to represent Togo on the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice at the Future We Want Model UN Summit.

Tawah grew up in Margibi County, a rural area of Liberia, before moving closer to the capital of Monrovia with her family. Being raised by her single mother along with her five siblings, Tawah recognized the importance of overcoming challenges and always looking to the future. Due to financial difficulty, Tawah had to leave school sometimes but kept moving forward. With her impressive academic ability and drive, Tawah was able to graduate with top grades. 

In Liberia, Tawah volunteered with the Liberia Renewal Ministries. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, she spent most of her time working with the National Public Health Institute of Liberia to spread awareness and distribute sanitation supplies for communities. At the same time, she taught other young women in her neighborhood to financially support the family and share knowledge. After high school graduation, Tawah was a program associate at Yoner Liberia and coordinated youth activities. Tawah is an alumna of the Young Political Leadership school of Africa and the founder (and CEO) of the Conscious Youth of Liberia, an organization that aims to build a vibrant society for youth through advocacy, leadership and innovation. Tawah also led a volunteering project to organize a menstrual hygiene workshop for young girls.

Tawah hopes to prevent teenage pregnancy and early marriage by providing health education to young women.
