Tena
Tena is the Assistant Branch Manager at MMCU’s Wood River location. She has worked for the company for twelve years. The part she loves most about her job is “seeing my tellers’ beautiful faces every day, and Captain Kirk’s!” In her spare time, she enjoys playing Words with Friends and playing with her grandsons. While she’s happy to vacation anywhere there might be a beach, Tena dreams of visiting Scotland. She has one daughter, Anna, and a wire-haired dachshund named Arthur. She describes herself as dependable and cautious.
She likes to listen to Classic Rock music, her favorite movie is Same Time Next Year, and her top TV shows are Yellowstone and 1883. She loves southern cooking, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the book, A Land Remembered. If Tena could witness any historical event, it would be Woodstock! If she won the lottery, she would realize her dream of opening an animal sanctuary.
Tena’s biggest pet peeve is when people do not step up and take the initiative. What is the one thing she can’t resist? “A good hug from someone I care about!” If she could have a superpower, it would be to go back in time. Her process for turning a bad day into a good one is clicking her heels together three times. For Tena, a perfect day would include sitting in a canoe or on the dock fishing with her brother. Her favorite part of childhood was “growing up in Florida in the 60s-70s, life was SO much better then!”
