Tennille had been a Psychology major at Livingston College (Rutgers University). She chose to attend Rutgers University because of its diverse population.

Tennille enjoys working with children and in the future she would love to obtain a job where she can help children. She has volunteered in the pediatric department at UMDNJ (Newark) and at the Tiny Tots Spot Daycare Center. Her future plans include attending graduate school. Her life long goal is to open up a home for disadvantaged children so that they can have a place to go for help with problems or get assistance and guidance on pursuing their career goals.

Project Learn had taught Tennille how to make sacrifices. She had learned to decide the difference between what things are important and what things are crucial. Through this experience, she has gained valuable skills in preparation for graduate school.
