Tika was raised in Memphis, TN before her family relocated to Illinois in 2002. There she graduated from high school and started her college career at Southern Illinois Community College with an interest in business marketing. During her time in school, she began working in retail where she became a supervisor with the company in less than a year. With 4 years in retail Seantika decided it was time for a change, she wanted to challenge herself in another field where there is hope for advancement mentally and professionally. As soon as the opportunity presented itself, she opted for a position as an accounting clerk in the Department of Anesthesiology. When she is not working she enjoys perfecting her craft as a makeup artist and spending time with her family and friends on trips and exciting new activities. Tika remains optimistic about the opportunities that are to come.
