Tabitha Hultquist
Hello! I’m the owner of Happy Hamstery!
When I’m not with the hamsters, you can find me drinking loads of coffee while sitting on my coach choreographing and writing shows, or teaching silks, trapeze, lyra, sling and bungee at Kelly’s School of Dance & Aerial in Fort Mill where I work part-time as an Aerial Director.
I have a sweet daughter who was born in 2024, and life with her has been incredible!
