Teni is a fourth-year student in the Public Affairs and Policy Management Program, with a specialization in Communication Technologies and Regulation in addition to a French minor. Teni is passionate about racial advocacy and has administrative experience through organizations like CATIE where she worked as a Research Assistant and the Ottawa Food Bank as an policy writer in IT and later Volunteer Management.
On campus, she works as a Front-Desk Associate at Carleton’s Center for Student Academic Support. In terms of extracurriculars, she has kept busy with clubs like PAPMSS (The PAPM Student Society), the Charlatan (as an EDI Board Director) and BSPA (Black Students in Public Affairs); where she volunteered at an Afrofuturism conference and made lifelong connections with other Black students in PAPM.
To relieve stress, Teni thrives in the realm of escapism, ranging from fantasy books to reality TV. As a lover of the arts, she uses poetry as a creative outlet and aspires to be a published author alongside a career in either Law or Public Policy.
