Tabayia is entering into her second season with the Wichita Thunder. She received her degree in accounting and business administration with minors in Sport administration and sport finance. She began her career in sports interning for the Wichita Thunder during the 2007-08 season and found the Thunder calling after graduation in the summer of 2009.

As director of Finance most of her job is done behind the scenes but she likes to be involved in all the aspects of the team, so you can find her doing a little of everything from time to time.

Tabayia grew up in the small North-Central Kansas town of Cuba. She began her love of sports at a young age and was always on one if not three sport teams at all times, up until she finished her career after playing on a sport scholarship in college.

She now enjoys playing in any sport league she can, working out, watching her little cousins play sports, taking French classes, spending time with her boyfriend and family and learning to play hockey, which has taught her to appreciate the game even more!! She is always looking forward to another season of Thunder Hockey and can’t wait to see what this season brings!
