Tabitha was raised in East Tennessee, where she attended King University and received her Bachelor’s in Behavioral Science with a minor in Elementary Education. She met her husband Dirk in college, they have been married for over 20 years. In the last 20 years her family has grown, she has four children ranging in age from 11 to 19. In 2017 her family moved from Ft. Myers, FL to Mt. Juliet, TN. Tabitha was a teacher for over 10 years, until she felt like God was leading her to something new in 2022.

Tabitha began volunteering with Rest Stop Ministries in February of 2023, doing anything from making birthday cakes to driving to appointments to respite care. When the opening of Residential Coach became available, it just seemed like God opened another door. Tabitha enjoys spending time with family and friends and making cakes.
