My name is pronounced Tehhh-knee-uhht, which translates to felicitations, well wishes, or blessings. I come from a family that greets everyone with a smile and thus are appropriately nicknamed the smiling family. I am told that I am a good listener, patient, and a capable person, who is respected by her peers. I am a culmination of my experiences, and that life’s challenges are opportunities to learn and grow as an individual and that finding the positive in every situation is important. I am super family oriented who loves eating meals with my family. I am also the designated chef at my workplace. I am famous for my lasagna, biryani, and butter chicken. I would also like to become an expert baker, a part-time makeup artist, and learn to speak Spanish fluently.
