Growing up in the close-knit community of Lexington, Tabitha learned early that true leadership begins with kindness, compassion, and service to others. In a small town where community means supporting one another through every season of life, she developed a deep appreciation for connection, volunteerism, and the importance of giving back.
She believes that every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and included. Throughout her life, she has been passionate about creating spaces where people from all backgrounds feel welcomed and respected. While she believes diversity and inclusivity are essential to strong communities, she also believes the most meaningful change begins through simple acts of empathy and genuine human connection.
“In a world that can often feel divided, I strive to lead with grace, openness, and compassion toward everyone I meet.”
Her commitment to service has been reflected through leadership and community involvement across many areas of her life. As a Lino Lakes Ambassador, she has proudly represented her community while strengthening her skills in leadership, public speaking, and civic engagement.
She also founded and served as President of the Black Student Union at her high school, where she worked to encourage cultural awareness, student leadership, and meaningful dialogue. Creating an environment centered around respect, inclusivity, and empowerment became one of the most rewarding experiences of her life — and reinforced her belief that leadership is rooted in service.
Professionally, Tabitha works as a Personal Care Assistant. Caring for others during vulnerable moments requires patience and kindness, and it has taught her the importance of treating every individual with dignity.
Family has always remained the foundation of her values. They taught her humility, perseverance, and the practice of serving others even when no recognition is expected in return.
