fun facts

about Tenisha

When you were a kid was your

dream job to be an author?


Nope. I have always

wanted to be an artist.

What is your favorite sport?


I love to watch baseball, especially my favorite team

the Oakland Athletics (Go A's).


I only participated in

one sport growing up,

Kenpo Karate. I blink WAY to much to play in any sport where a ball can come flying

at me from anywhere!

What is your favorite animal?


I am a huge dog lover. I even have a dog shaped piggy bank, as I’m saving up to adopt one from an animal shelter (hopefully soon).

What is your favorite car?


I don’t have a favorite car.

But taco trucks are awesome!
