During her time at Overbrook, TeTe participated in various educational programs including work study and was loved by staff and students. TeTe graduated in 2013. Spending time with family was one thing TeTe really enjoyed, especially taking long rides with mom, listening to music and singing Anita Baker songs while eating McDonald's burgers and fries with a sprit soda. There was no song that "TeTe" didn't know from the oldies to the new. TeTe was known to be strong, a fighter and protector. She loved everyone who came to the house especially the babies and her twin brother Tracy. It wasn't uncommon for TeTe to announce "here comes brother" when she heard her twin pulling in from work.
