(Greetings in Swahili, translating to hello)
My name is Tabitha Kamau, a first-generation woman of color born in Kenya, Africa, and raised in the United States. I immigrated to the U.S. in pursuit of enhanced educational opportunities, an experience for which I am profoundly grateful. My deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of education fuels my passion for higher learning.
My professional journey began as an Academic Coordinator at Salem State University, where I discovered a profound connection to the role through meaningful student interactions and supportive relationships. This position provided me with invaluable opportunities to develop new skills and techniques.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to my professional ethos. As a committed social justice activist, I uphold values of transparency, empathy, dedication, and compassion in all aspects of my work. I am dedicated to fostering community, proactive leadership, and tangible change.
My primary objective is to advance accessible education, striving to enhance student success and promote holistic student development. This portfolio encapsulates my professional philosophy, professional development plan, resume, and achievements in competency.

"It’s important for us to also understand that the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ simply refers to the notion that there’s a specific vulnerability for African Americans that needs to be addressed. It’s not meant to suggest that other lives don’t matter. It’s to suggest that other folks aren’t experiencing this particular vulnerability.” – Barack Obama

My Cajita represents who I am both ethnically and personally. The multiple pictures are a representation of my family and friends. These pictures are a reminder of who has supported and encouraged me along the way. The picture in the upper left-hand corner is of my father and mother who has stayed happily married for 28 years. Words can not express how blessed I am to have two loving parents in a household who continue to show me what love truly means. The other pictures showcase my love my traveling, my commitment to black student union club during my undergrad, a throw back picture of my older sister, father and I in Kenya, and last but not least, a picture of my college roommates who are now some of the closest friends to me. These photos continue to stay true to heart. Apart from the beautiful pictures, the upper right-hand corner is a bible verse (Corinthias:15;58) that displays my dedication to the Lord. I am Christian women who loves to spread the word to God. I have also displayed a crown in the same corner because it represents an item I wore during one of my dance performance but also represents the confidence in who I am. Lastly, there are many references throughout the box to my love for my cultural background.
