Tabitha is a lifelong teacher and learner who is passionate about empowering and helping others, from cultivating business relationships to bringing quality cannabis products to the people who will benefit from them.
She first started consuming cannabis around the age of 30, when she was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. After finding that the medication she was prescribed left her feeling disconnected from life, she discovered that cannabis gave her the mental and emotional space to start working on her anxiety, and the change in perspective she needed for recovery.
With years of experience teaching MBA students to apply model-based decision making and working as a cannabis educator, Tabitha takes this expertise to the legal cannabis market to help facilitate research, mentorship and product development while working on bringing Fritz’s unique and innovative family recipes to market.
