Tabitha is pursuing a degree in film and media production to hone her technical skills in media production. She couples her interest in the film with her passion for the broader communications and entertainment industries. When it comes to media production, Tabitha has always gravitated towards non-fiction. Her love for the art started at a young age; she has been sharpening her skills since age 13. Her other major, public relations and strategic communications with a minor in digital journalism, is an extension of her love for entertainment. Tabitha hopes to work behind the scenes in the entertainment industry post-grad. Being a show runner has given her the best of both worlds. She will use her documentary experience and her social media strategizing experience to strengthen the show’s branding and promotions.
